The illustrations are bright and cheerful and the animals all have a lot of character and expression so they add a lot of fun to the book. The story is about Paula the Beaver and her friend Maggie the Elephant. Paula thinks Maggie is the best until other kids start making fun of Maggie. Paula has to choose between fitting in or sticking by her friend. In the end Maggie shows Paula what true friendship is all about. It's a sweet story and I think kids will be able to relate to both Maggie and Paula. (Although hopefully not to the mean little dog, Veronica, who acts exactly like what she is.) The only part I don't like it that Paula acts like being called Bucky is a bad thing. That's no goody.
