Share!

by Anthea Simmons, Georgie Birkett (Illustrations)

  I love my fluffy teddy. But Baby wants him, too. "SHARE," says Mommy.  Learning to share your favorite things with a new sibling is so hard—especially when baby bends your books, chews puzzle pieces, and makes your blanky yucky. But a big sister learns that sharing isn't all bad, and that she and her brother can share the best things of mommy, hugs, and love.
Anthea Simmons and Georgie Birkett have created a delightful picture book with a sweet lesson, delivered in a fun, easy-to-understand way.   “Parents will recognize the familiar dynamics of sibling rivalry in this sweet and endearing picture book.

[Danielle Jernigan · Rating 3 out of 5]

Cute book because of the illustrations, but could have been written better. The rhyming of "do" and "too" was extremely repetitive and uninteresting to both my toddler and myself. When I reread it to him, I made up dialogue instead.

3,5*
not my favourite style of illustration

Concept is sweet and cute - older sister learns she should share with her little baby brother with all kinds of cute/messy consequences. The meter of the rhyme is uneven and doesn't lend itself well to smooth reading aloud though.

I bought this for my daughter after she became a big sister. Fab book for helping a toddler to accept some of the changes having a new baby in the family brings
