Publisher Description
On planet Boborp, all the childrinx go to skrool, just like here on planet Earth.
Omek and Yelfred are always late, but it's okay because they are always late together, and everyone knows that best frints do everything together.
That is, until Yelfred meets Q-B. Omek is good at sharing many things, but he's not so good at sharing his best frint.
But with a little understanding and a friendly game of Eyeball in the peedle pit, Omek might find that there's room for just one more best frint after all, in Antoinette Portis's Best Frints at Skrool.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In their second outing (following Best Frints in the Whole Universe), alien best friends Omek and Yelfred are pink and purple, with reptilian tails and pincer arms, and they "go to skrool, just like here on planet Earth." Also like on Earth, meeting new friends at skrool can lead to hurt feelings. In bright, gestural cartoon characters, Portis depicts Yelfred as he has fun with a new "frint," a red, cube-like alien named Q-B, leaving Omek watching dejectedly from the sidelines, antennae drooping. At "yunch," Omek is once again alone, but when an epic food fight ("Everyone is sharing!") leads Omek to team up with Yelfred and Q-B, they become a tight threesome: "On Boborp, what makes things the most fun... is a best frint and a best best frint." With humor and tenderness, Portis explores the uncertainty and unexpected joys that come with navigating childhood friendships. Ages 4 8.
