This gift book is giant warm fuzzy that's like a hug to receive. Each page contains an adorable full color drawing of Teddy bears and a heartwarming quote or two about friendship from famous people, not so famous people, and/or Bible. Personal notes writing by my friends in the margins make looking back at this book a quick reminder of our friendship even at a distance. The artwork is truly outstanding, and that alone would make this a great picture book for little girls. The quotes taken from so many different sources are inspiring and uplifting.
