[Manu · Rating 5 out of 5]

Mom: 5 stars, what an adorable little story about sharing and friendship

Leila: 5 stars. It makes me happy bc I want to keep it all day.

Maxwell: 4 stars. It was really adorable but that’s not why I gave it four stars. I gave it 4 stars because I learned a little but when i do 5 stars it means I learned a lot or I like it a lot.

Story of sharing and friendship

[MelMon Sanchez · Rating 5 out of 5]

It's not everyday you meet your best friend. In this shirt and sweet tale the most unlikely two become friends and shows that not all friendships start out easily.

This is an adorable story about sharing, caring and friendship!!!

[Megan Mccale · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is great for children because at the beginning Nathan did not want to share his toy box with Nicholas Alexander. After awhile he felt bad because he realized that he could share his things with him and that sharing is nice. It teaches children about character.

[Tynisha Thompkins]

This was a cute and funny book that could possibly teach young children to share and work together as a team.
