Item Description...
Book Description
Friends come in all shapes and sizes. And sometimes the best friends are the ones we overlook because we don't accept their differences. I Can Be Your Friend colorfully illustrates exactly what it means to be a friend and imparts an important message for children that will last a lifetime. Children will love hearing the accompanying CD of the song made popular by their favorite VeggieTales characters and will want to see the pictures and hear the story time and time again as Bob and Larry share ways to be the friend God intends children-and adults-to be.

 | This Is Just A Book of Lyrics To One Song Feb 18, 2007 |
The book and CD are nice,... but not what I expected.
Without an accurate description of this book on this page, it was hard to know exactly what was in this one. The book basically contains the lyrics to the song, "I Can Be Your Friend", written by Phil Vischer. A CD is enclosed with the book in a plastic holder inside the front cover. The CD contains the single of "I Can Be Your Friend" and lasts all of 1 minute and 26 seconds.
The plastic holder is firmly attached to the book and seems durable and strong enough to withstand numerous uses getting the CD in and out.
The song itself rates a full 5 stars and then some! I think Phil Vischer has incredible talent when it comes to structuring and rhyming phrases that make total sense and are fun to listen to. The song also contains the original voices of Bob and Larry and gang so if you are familiar with Veggie Tales, it's the same song you are used to hearing.
I was a bit disappointed in the book, though. There is a 2 page intro and then 24 pages covering the lyrics to the song and 2 pages wrapping up with the traditional "Remember! God made you special and he loves you very much!" I was hoping for a new story in this one about friendship... or even the story, "The Gourds Must Be Crazy", from the DVD - Are You My Neighbor? which is where this song first appears. But that was not the case.
The book has some wonderful illustrations of the Veggie Tales characters, but be aware that much of the book is full of photographs of real kids. I prefer the colorful illustrations of vegetables (and sometimes fruit!), but kids may be able to relate to the actual pictures of other kids to see how they show friendship.
The real kids pictures are shown in cartoon picture frames so I may just cut my own pictures to size and attach them in those spots so my kids can relate to the pictures more and at the same time, personalize the book for them. That would make this OK book, fantastic!
Phil Vischer's song "I Can Be Your Friend" - 5 stars!
Accompanying CD (although it is very short) - 5 stars
The presentation of that song and concept in this book - 3 stars | | | Write your own review about I Can be Your Friend (CD) (A Veggie Tales Gift Book)
