# Friends Learn about Tobin - Hardcover

by **Diane Murrell** (Author), **Clara Thibeaux** (Designed by)

Tobin's friends meet him halfway In Diane Murrell's first book, _Tobin Learns to Make Friends_, Tobin made special changes in himself in order to be friendly toward his playmates. Now, Tobin's friends try to understand where he is coming from. The charming trains learn that a little extra kindness can put them all on the same "track." Parents and teachers will find both books useful in teaching mutual understanding. _Friends Learn About Tobin_ shows how Tobin's friends accept and appreciate his differences, such as discomfort with change, repetitious behavior, a knack for numbers, a photographic memory, literal interpretation of words, and sensitivity to noises and crowds.
