You are not my friend, but i miss you follows the story of a sock monkey and his friend a toy dog. Sock monkey is upset that dog took his ball and soon steals it back from him and no longer wants to be his friend. Sock monkey searches for a new friend but soon becomes lonely and tries to play ball by himself, he misses dog but what will he do? Was he not so nice to dog as well?
This family friendly book is useful to children in that its relatable, the use of stuffed toys as the charactors is easier for them to understand. The overall tone is sad but sends a clear message of what can happen in a friendship but ultimately how to overcome negative feelings and learn how to be ice and share. The illustrations are colourful and detailed so you can see the charactors "stitching" and know they are stuffed toys.
