My daughter chose this book from the shelf herself. For me it was a good choice for her to start learning what sharing and caring mean. She was really interested in reading this one. A lot of illustrations showing children sharing and caring for the child to see. I would recommend this book to young toddlers.

Looking for more sharing books for both SD and SS, but especially on my toddler SS's level. This is perfect! I especially like the part of how to make someone smile and feel good. I think both kids will be able to connect with that.

This a great book for PreK or Kinder aged students. It teaches them the importance of sharing with others. It also shows how you can care for other people as well. Super cute!

Great lesson and the author has a note to parents in the back of the book that is well worth reading. She explains the age group that can handle such concepts as sharing and caring. We've all heard and watched parents attempt to get their one-year-old to share and a child that age just isn't equipped to do so. I'm not saying parents shouldn't start early, but parents should not be disappointed when children don't catch on right away.

Very simplistic; not at all interesting. Only useful for a parent who can't find the words to explain sharing.
