Having a best friend is awesome. Susie Q and Kim talk about being friends growing up and discuss the memories they made together when they were little girls. Sing along with them to songs like “Playmate,” and “Make New Friends." Then end the day with “Row, Row, Row Your Boat,” and “Pat-A-Cake, Pat-A-Cake," and other songs that are perfect to share with your best friend!
