What does being a good friend mean? My kindergarten students said that good friends are kind to each other, good friends share and good friends play nice together. Students immediately connect with goose and bear in A Splendid Friend, Indeed! by Suzanne Bloom. Bear wants to quietly read, write and think while goose talks and talks! Poor bear, why is goose bothering him so? Bear wants to read, write and think quietly. Goose wants to do everything that bear is doing until thinking makes him hungry. Goose goes off to make a snack and brings more than a few treats back to warm the heart of his favorite bear. Students LOVE this story and are intrigued as goose tries to copy everything that bear does. We talk about what makes a "splendid" friend and students draw pictures of their friends.
