I am struggling as as much as I want to say dd is a perfect angel, that would be a big fat lie. Ive noticed her doing a few things that may or may not have been intentional, that Im not happy about (shes quite bossy for one). Ive tried chatting to her and seems to be sinking in, but wondered if there are any good books about what it means to be a friend?

The one that immediately springs to mind is Is That What Friends Do? by Marjorie Newman ("Monkey and Elephant are both alone so they decide to be friends. Monkey has lots of experience of friendship, but Elephant has none. Monkey soon takes charge and has Elephant doing all the things he, Monkey, likes doing best. Poor Elephant doesn't enjoy it nearly as much and eventually goes back to being alone. Can Monkey work out where he has gone wrong so they can be friends again?")

There's a list here that you might find useful, too -- "friendship" comes a little over halfway down the page.
