My Best Friend is a story about the relationship between a mouse and an owl, told from the mouse’s point of view. Mouse views Owl’s actions through the lens of friendship, but are Owl’s actions those of a friend? The story is engaging and the illustrations are beautiful.
As an educator, My Best Friend could be used to facilitate teaching of perspective taking or inferences/predictions.
Thank you to Quarto Publishing Group and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Oh my! No spoilers here, but this is a great example of the text telling one story, and the pictures another. As for the dark humor, pair with "Tadpole's Promise," "I Want My Hat Back," or "The Wolf, The Duck, and the Mouse" if you're a fan.

A gorgeously illustrated story about a little white mouse and his ‘friendship’ with Giant Owl. Mouse LOVES his new friend and determinedly sees everything Owl does in an endearing and lovely way whilst the reader realises that Giant Owl might just have an ulterior motive… A beautiful story for littlest readers everywhere.
I would like to thank both Net Galley and Frances Lincoln Children's Books for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Mouse thinks Giant Owl is his best friend... but we all know what owls eat so...
A humorous look at dramatic irony in picture book form.

This was super cute! Mouse is so excited to be living with his very best friend, Giant Owl! They used to have so much fun playing chase- Giant Owl never quite caught Mouse, till that last time.... Mouse even has his own room (a birdcage), and Giant Owl feeds him all the donuts he wants. What fun will they have next? Read and find out! The illustrations are fabulous, very bright, bold, and tell a different story than Mouse does. This book will have everyone laughing, kids and adults alike!

I requested and received an e-ARC of this book from NetGalley and Quatro Publishing Group – Frances Lincoln Childrens in exchange for an honest review.
This was a really cute book about a delusional mouse that only sees the best in the owl trying to eat him. This was a fun read; the illustrations were great, and the mouse and owl were funny.

This made me laugh.
Mouse tells us about their best friend, Owl, who might have their own agenda.
I felt kind of reminded of Tom & Jerry, only with a very, very naive mouse. I'd totally read more episodes.
The fun comes from the way Mouse tells the story and the contrast to the things we see in the pictures. Mouse is excited to get an own house, but maybe it's really a cage so Mouse can't run away?
Short and sweet. Would like to read more.

A silly story that will keep your young reader engaged with the contrasting color of the illustrations. Mouse really doesn’t understand his relationship with Giant Owl...and it makes for a quirky read.

Such a funny story. The mouse is sure that the owl want to be her friend when it's clear he just want to eat it. Funny «stupid/absurd» humor that can help work second degree humor with kids and a very fun and entertaining read. I love it!
