The Friendship Recipe

Alice Mole makes a friendship recipe, but when Spencer Field Mouse’s seed pouch spills, the list becomes a real-life test. With the Friendship Recipe 3, the friends learn kind words, noticing feelings, and asking before helping.

Alice Mole makes lists for everything—so she decides to make a friendship recipe. But when Spencer’s seed pouch spills in the clover, the recipe stops being a list and becomes something the friends have to practice for real. With a simple three-step Friendship Recipe, the group learns how to use kind words, notice feelings, and ask before helping. Little by little, the clover patch becomes a place where friendship grows through gentle actions instead of perfect plans. This warm Hawkins Hollow read-aloud supports children as they explore kindness, noticing, respectful helping, inclusion, repair, and friendship that grows one ingredient at a time.
