My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Nice book about friendship and commitment.
Wilbie and Harry are friends since they're babies. They are inseparable. They learn to walk together, they play together, they go to school together, they sit in class together, and go home together.
Whenever there's Wilbie, there's Harry.
They have a jar which they put money in it, and when the jar is full, they would spend it together. That's how together they are.
And one day, the jar is full, and they want to spend the money at the school fair. They buy things together, such as food, ticket for playing, etc. And when there's only some money left, they buy 2 tickets, to win a football with signatures.
Wilbie wins the ball, and instead of sharing it with Harry as they used to do, Wilbie runs home and tell everyone he meets that he won the football.
The next day, Harry won't come out to play with Wilbie. At school, Harry won't sit in the class with him, Harry didn't wait for Wilbie to go home together. Harry is still upset because Wilbie didn't keep their commitment to share everything they have saved together.
What would happen to their friendship? Will Harry forgives Wilbie? Or will they each find new friends?
This well-illustrated book is very good for young readers. Read it to your kids, or to your class, they'll love it!
