Don't Need Friends by Carolyn Crimi

4.0

A lovely picture book about a junkyard rat whose best friend moves away. So sad and angry, he decides he doesn't need friends any more. He rebuffs the friendship advances of the other junkyard animals. Then a dog moves into the junkyard and the two quickly become adversaries. Then one night, the rat finds out that maybe he needs friends after all.

A very sweet book that manages to keep its edge even as it delivers an important message.
