Got this as a gift and my daughter loves to read the OH NO MOMO! parts when we get to them. She just screams it out and then giggles so hard. Such a sweet book for read-along time.

We had an author day and read "Momo and Shelby" and then they wrote their own stories about what they do when they spend time with their friends. We combined their stories into a paperback book called "Friendships Are the Best" and published it on Amazon! Second graders rock!
