Excerpt:
Would you like to have some new friends? If so, I have some
great news for you. You can make your own friends, just the way you want them.
You make them in your friend factory.
Here is some more great news. In the friend factory, you're
the boss. You get to make all the rules. No one can tell you what to do or how
to behave. You're the friend factory boss. You're in charge.
The things I'm going to tell you are important secrets. Only
the friend factory boss is allowed to know about them. Please keep them to
yourself. Please don't tell anyone else.
With that as the opening, The Friend Factory goes on to teach seven- to ten-year-old children about making friends, how to become champion friend pickers, and how to tell when people won't be good friends.
