Summary: This is a cute story about how two boys become friends. They are an unlikely pair but it shows children how two people that may not have a lot of things in common become friends.
Pre Reading Activity: Talk to students about what makes a good friend. Create a list on the board on things that make people friends. See what children have to say about friendship. Ask students things like what makes someone your friend?
Post Reading Activity: Have children close their eyes and try to remember the way each boy looked in the story. Encourage them to describe the two boys in detail. After children explore the boys’ clothing and physical appearance in general, have them consider the things that were similar about the two boys. Ask: In what ways do you think the two boys might be alike? What kinds of things do you think the boys might enjoy together? As children talk, help them to see that when we look beyond superficial differences we become capable of seeing the many ways in which we have things in common with others.
