Description

Soft and Sticky are total opposites, but does that mean the end of their friendship? Soft and Sticky are best friends, but Soft’s fluff always gets up Sticky’s nose, and Sticky sticks like glue to Soft! After one last argument, they decide to end their friendship – life will be better apart, won’t it? But they soon find they miss each other much more than they imagined... Another hilarious story from award-winning children's author, Jeanne Willis!
