A fun story about four friends coming together for one epic summer. I really enjoyed this picture book in verse.
Drum can’t wait for summer to be over so he can see his friends at school. But when a new family moves into his neighborhood, his summer gets more fun. As the summer progresses, more friends come together to form the Friendly Four. Join the adventures of Drum, Dorene, Louis, and Rae as they make the summer their own.
Such a sweet story. I really enjoyed coming along on the children’s adventures, racing, telling stories, and making their own town.
Loved the different colors of text to represent different characters. Works great for taking turns reading aloud or setting up as a play.
The artwork is great. Perfectly captures the imagination and fun of the Friendly Four.
A wonderful story. Fun summertime read.
