I Like the Way You Are — Eve Bunting

Turtle and Spottie are best friends, and they spend all their free time together. They work out at the gym, raise an organic garden, and go to scary movies. But even best friends don't always think alike. Turtle wants to sit in the front of the movie theater; Spottie prefers the back. Turtle likes crab juice with his popbugs; Spottie would rather have beetle juice. But, as always, they find a way to compromise, and enjoy watching the movie from the middle row, sharing a large juice that's half-and-half. These two thoroughly up-to-date friends may not see eye to eye on everything, but there's one thing that they agree on: whatever they're doing, it's more fun when they do it together. Brightly illustrated, the warm, funny text of I LIKE THE WAY YOU ARE is divided into easy chapters, perfect for independent reading or as a read-aloud to be shared by all ages.
