What is Will You Be My Friend? about?

Bush Baby is desperate to find a friend, but every animal she meets seems to have a reason to reject her. Giraffe thinks she is too small, while Flamingo wants a friend who is pink. Just when Bush Baby feels loneliest, Lion offers friendship. But can she really trust a lion—not to mention his enormous teeth? Funny, surprising and full of heart, this charming story shows that friendship can appear in the most unexpected places, and that appearances can be deceiving.
