K-Gr 2–We all have a best frint—one that we go to skrool with, read bloox with, and even share healthy spewds with. But what about sharing that best frint? The newest picture book from Portis explores this question in a zany, fun-to-read manner as best buds Omek and Yelfred meet Q-B. After Yelfred and Q-B zoom away together, Omek is left wondering if he will ever get his best frint back. Only after a rousing game of "eye ball in the peedle pit" does Omek realize that more frints are better! Bold, colorful illustrations accompany the equally bold narrative.
VERDICT An excellent and engaging read-aloud with a smart, timely message. A perfect selection for the beginning of school that will be requested all year long.
