Queen-a-Bella Finds a Best Friend

Dominique Book Review, Recommendations kids book

Queen-a-Bella Finds a Best Friend by Lisl Fair & Nina de Polonia is the latest in the series of kids story book for preschoolers. In this book Queen-A-Bella gets slighted when her older sister’s best friend comes to visit and she was not allowed to join in their game. She was very sad and decided after some thought felt that she too should have her own best friend.

Queen-a-Bella goes through the meadow and comes across a butterfly. She asked it to be her best friend but was flatly refused as the butterfly felt that it was a ridiculous request from a rabbit who could not fly. She next approached the fish in the lake and then a fox who wanted in actual to eat her. While escaping from the fox she came across a lizard wearing his best Sunday suit. The lizard rejected her invitation to be her best friend initially but after much persuasion by Queen-a-Bella he accepted her offer. The story ended off happily with the two new best friends enjoying themselves dancing.

My thoughts

I really enjoyed reading this book with my kids. I like the cheery illustration and the underlying message that even though you may not look the same or be of the same species you can still be best friends and share common interests. Queen-a-Bella also shows that it is possible to achieve what you set out to do ( in the case get a best friend) if you are determined enough and not give up. I recommend this book to parents who are looking for a book to read to their children about perseverance and acceptance.

You can purchase the Kindle version of this book from Amazon
