Friends Rock: An Acorn Book - By Heather Ayris Burnell ( Paperback )

About the Book

Unicorn and Yeti are still a little new to the friendship-thing, but they are trying hard to work out how to share the things they like to do, for instance taking turns on a swing, or sharing a sparkly rock--or combining the peaches that Unicorn likes with Yeti's ice cream to make a special treat they can share together.
