Who knew a Penguin and a Pinecone could be friends? Not me, but this is a great friendship story, especially if you or your best friend move away! It’s  also part of a series of 9 books.
 
Penguin must not live in Antarctica – there are no pine trees, but wherever he lives, he meets a pinecone and they become best friends. They do all kinds of best friend things together, but their problem – Penguin discovers Pinecone belongs in a forest far away. Penguin is the best kind of friend – he takes Pinecone home. And at the end when Penguin comes back for a visit, Pinecone realizes he can’t stay forever. This is ONE lovely friendship story, especially the last line. (You’ll have to read it for yourself😊)
