Milred and Ed have never spent much time apart from each other until one fateful when they both have important things to do on the same time, at the same time. To prepare for this time apart, they spend the week before these events apart to practice being away from one another. They really like hanging out with each other. The big day comes, and they both wish each one was their to be supportive and watch what their doing. In the end, they complete their tasks without each other and do a great job and they hang out afterwards. A corky little story that reminds you what a true friend is. ( )

In the book "Bravo, Mildred and Ed!, Karen Wagner, tells a great story about two best friends. Within the book it shows some exciting activities that these two best friends do together. Then, Wagner creates a conflict within the story. She shows that sometimes best friends have troubles that they need to overcome (like any children and their friends would). Mildred and Ed both have something that they have to do the same day therefore, not being able to attend each others performances. They suddenly decide to do things on their own. When the day of the performances appear they are not sad. They find away to be happy the day of their performances and are still best friends. Janet Pedersen is the illustrator in this book and she does a wonderful job. In the book there is lots of color. She draws activities such as flying a kite, canoeing, violin practice, art shows and museum visits that keeps my attention glued to every page! ( )
