Cy Makes a Friend by Ann Marie Stephens
Cy the Cyclops can make just about anything, except a friend. Even practicing skills such a making eye contact and winking doesn't seem to help. Then Cy remembers that it's nice to share, so he turns his talent for making things to creating a special something just right for two. This charming tale about finding a friend celebrates kindness, generosity, and being true to yourself, and features fresh, colorful artwork. An author's note with information about Cyclopes and many other mythological creates in the book is included.
