This book is about a boy who has been invited to the King and Queens house for tea. Before accepting the invite he asks if he can bring a friend to which the response is always, "Any friend of our friend is welcome here." The young boy shows up with a very large friend that surprises the king and queen. Every day the young boy is invited back and every day he brings a new friend. At the end of the book the boy says that his friends want the king and queen to come over, so they did just that.
This book would be great for young readers as well as mid-elementary readers too. I would use this book in my classroom to help them learn the days of the week. I could have the students match up the corresponding animals for the say that they came.
