Review

Yelfred and Omek have been best friends since they were little blobbies. Through a variety of activities, such as eating and playing, we see the extent of their friendship. They get into a disagreement, and the reader is shown how they resolve it. Their actions are often compared to what might happen in a similar situation on earth. The illustrations are digitally colored and mainly consist of geometric shapes colored very simply. Overall, there is a kind of zany feel to the book which does, in the end, shows some important lessons about friendship.

Overall Book Score: good
