این کتاب مصور به والدین و مربیان کمک میکند که به سادگی علت لزوم رعایت نوبت در کارها و بازی ها را به کودکان خود آموزش دهند. همچنین به علت تصاویر داستانی و یک سری تصاویر بدون متن در انتهای کتاب به بچه کمک میشود تا خود به خوبی با موضوع درگیر شده و آموزگار خود شود و مطلب را به خوبی در عمق وجود خود بنشاند.

Not Fair, Won’t Share. Some children do not like to share even when the toy isn’t theirs. This cause the other child to show emotions of hurt, anger and frustration, this happens when a child is unwilling to share. When Miss Clover builds a space station in her classroom she said only three children could play at a time but everyone wanted to play at once. She decided it would be best to draw names in a hat and the first three names will take turns and share. Nora, Henry and Dan were up first and Nora when for the boots, helmet and started pulling all the levers, buttons and didn’t want to share with Dan or Henry. This book shows playing fair and sharing with others can be fun.

In my opinion, "Our Emotions and Behavior" series are a good choice for parents to use with their children because of the positive message they bring! I highly recommend this book for parents and classroom teaching.

The illustrations are simple and show each of the character feels and emotions about what is happening in each story.

I think the concept of having a book about sharing is awesome. Sadly, this is not the book for that. I'm not sure what the target age for this is, but in order for it to be effective the child would need to be relatively young, like 2 or 3. I think it was the tone that rubbed me the wrong way, it felt very condescending and childish (but not in ways that kids are going to respond positively to).

Description: Teaches young children why it is important to share. It also demonstrates the process of making amends and starting over.
Implementation ideas: Read to K-1 students at the beginning of the year to set play station expectations.
