My Best Friend is a self-explanatory title so on first read, I readily accept this friendship between the girls. But <SPOILER ALERT>, it’s Fogliano’s ending that makes me fall in love with the book as a whole.

we don't eat our classmates
Penelope is starting school for the first time but she’s having trouble making friends….because she keeps eating her classmates.
Mix It Up AKA The Friendship Orange
Little Lion’s second grade teachers have started a new thing this year and I love it. I don’t know what they call it, but I’m officially calling it “Mix It Up”. Each month, they are placed at certain lunch tables on Wednesdays and that is their Wednesday lunch group. The teachers mix up the kids so they sit with that group on Wednesdays only. The rest of the week, they get to choose where to sit.
It’s a brilliant idea. Little Lion is making new friends and reconnecting with old ones.
