Have you ever fought with a sibling over something small like a cookie or a pea? Was it a win or did everyone lose? "Boys, boys, listen up, I don't know who had more than the other, but there is always a solution. Have I ever told you the story of the Two Crows and a Pea?"Dad tells a story to his boys about 2 brother crows and what happens when one doesn't share or gives selflessly. Simon and Simeon are perched alongside a grocery store front just imagining all of the foods they wish they could eat, when a single pea falls to the pavement, their brotherly love is challenged, and selfishness ensues. This cute story was written with the intent to teach a moral lesson of sharing, giving, and even the consequences of a fight. Every child and adult will love this story, we all fight and bicker, but who will be the first to be humble, or maybe someone else will benefit from our mistakes!

What a great sibling story! As a mother of 3 children this is a well orchestrated story. I especially loved the ending- a real parents dream ~ Ha! I recommend this story for young readers and teachers.
Great illustrations and meaningful lesson!! This book shows readers that it's more important to share than to be selfish. It ends on a funny note as well!
Beautiful illustrations and the lesson learned is an important one when it comes to siblings. I loved this book and will keep the ebook for my kids. Though I would have loved this to be on our story shelf so hopefully the author will make a paperback of it available in Canada.
