The Adventures of Beekle: The Unimaginary Friend

This book is adorable and definitely one I will have available in my classroom as a future teacher one day! Although the story is told in third person, I love that you can really connect to Beekle and hope that one day he will find a friend. I also really liked how the human wasn’t searching for a friend throughout the whole story, instead the “imaginary” friend was doing the searching. I really enjoy books that can be expressed in as little words possible, but still carry a strong message, and that is the case for this book. Everyone deserves a friend, and you never know who may come into your life. I am not surprised that this book won a Caldecott Medal.
