In my opinion, this is a great book. One of the main reasons I like this book is because of the illustrations. Every illustration went along with the part of the story being told on each page. They were also very detailed and painted with water colors, so overall they were very bright and helped the story become more meaningful. Another reason that I enjoyed reading this story is because of the point of view. The story is told from a little girl's point of view and she is talking about her best friend moving. The point of view adds to the story and makes it very cute and age appropriate. For example, "How can you just go away? What about my sixth birthday?" At a young age children don't understand moving so it relates well. The last reason I liked this book was because of the characters. Annie Bananie was a silly little girl who did lots of fun things with her best friends. It was enjoyable to watch them develop and mature when they had to move away from each other. The main idea of this story was friendship and moving away. Annie Bananie had to more, but then the girls realized that they can still be friends from far away and that it is alright to make new friends. ( )

This is a story about friendship. While talking about her best friend, Annie Bananie, moving away, the narrator talks about all the wonderful things they've done together as friends. ( )
