Brief Summary: This book helps children learn the real meaning of friendship. While trying to determine who his best friend was, Pooh goes to each of his friends asking qualities of a best friend. Each gave a different answer and in the end Pooh realized all the nice, loyal, and kind things that a best friend was, Piglet had done. He takes Piglet a flower and has pie with him, letting piglet have the comfy chair and big piece of pie, because he wanted to be Piglet’s best friend as well.  This would be a great supplement to introduce younger children to sharing!
