I liked the book, “Best Friends Wear Pink Tutus”. One reason I liked this book was because of the characters. The characters were believable and the situation that occurred in the book could happen in real life. “Sometimes being your best friend is hard, Emily says. For the tryouts, we decide not to be best friends.” In the book both of the girls want to the same part, and since neither of them want to upset one another they decide not to be best friends for the time being. Another reason I liked the book was because of the illustrations. The illustrations were life-like and accurately described what was going on in the story. The big idea of this story is to not let things get in the way of your friendship. These two girls let a part in a play get in the way of their friendship but eventually resolved it. ( )

Best friends Amanda and Emily struggle with getting what they want for themselves, and what they want for each other.

Amanda and Emily both want to be Marie in The Nutcracker, but both realize they don’t want the other sad. They pretend to dance badly at the auditions, and get to be snowflakes together- pink snowflakes. ( )
