I enjoyed this story about friendship and our school value, love. We were really surprised when it turned out that Sam had been the bully. I also really loved the different types of poetry, especially the haiku.

A fantastic book to share with a class of children. A super story, shared in verse, with a very important message about friendship. This book would fit well into work on friendships/relationships as well as providing inspiration for writing various styles of poetry.

Cloud Busting is a wondrous to learn how to write poetry!
A novel about a boy who is encouraged to be unwelcoming to a newcomer. But on the other hand his mother is telling him to play with the new kid.
Sometimes you have to make a decision on your own?
A heart touching story to remember!

I think this is a really good book! A boy called Sam meets a boy called Davey. Sam and Davey don't like each other until one day they become really close friends. It teaches people how beautiful the world is.
