Finally Friends: Donut the Dog & Peanut the Squirrel Learn Social Skills (Donut & Peanut Collection Book #1) by Debbie Sullivan – Review by Angela Hayes

Finally Friends: Donut the Dog & Peanut the Squirrel Learn Social Skills by Debbie Sullivan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 Stars

Finally Friends by Debbie Sullivan is a cute little children’s story book that my grandson loved reading with me. It has a sweet story about Donut the dog and Peanut the squirrel (and Bobo the bird) as they go about becoming friends, learning social skills, and embracing their differences.
Donut has been very lonely since his best friend moved away. He would love to be friends with Peanut the squirrel, only all his attempts to be friends only seem to scare Peanut away. What will Donut do to convince Peanut to be his friend?
This sweet story comes with many messages along the way, such as:
-preconceived notions and not to ‘judge a book by its cover’.
-appearances can be deceiving
-social and emotional learning
-self-awareness/social-awareness
-responsible decision making
-overcoming/looking past fear
-self-management
-relationship skills
-the importance of communicating
This appears to be the first book in a new series- looking forward to seeing what adventures Donut, Peanut, and Bobo have in the next instalment/s.
Happy Reading…
