I'll Always Be Your Friend is written by Sam McBratney and illustrated by Kim Lewis. The little fox and his mother spent their day playing in the fields running, jumping over shadows, and sneaking-and-pouncing. It started to get late so mother told her little fox it was time to call it a night. Little fox was not ready to stop playing. He told his mom that she wasn't his friend anymore and he wouldn't be her friend again until he was big. The little fox decides to test his mother and grazes the field alone. As it becomes darker out, the little fox becomes frightened. The little fox then begins to realize he needs his mother and that he didn't mean what he said. He decideds that he wants to be friends with his mom again. Little fox's mom told him, "I'm your friend, too. And you know what? I will always be your friend."
This is a really cute book. There are times when children become frustrated with their parents when they don't get their way. Children say things they don't mean out of frustration. I know I have done this many times. It doesn't take long after for children to realize they need their parents. I know my mom always welcomed me back with a big warm smile and open arms just like little fox's mom.
