A very quick and easy look at why we should share – because we appreciate it when others share with us, basically. One for the shelf of very important and useful early development books – and yes, the text is of a kind we typically think of as part of a 'for sharing' category of book.

Simple board book about a virtue that small kids often struggle with. (I know I did!) Good lesson for the preschool audience but not much here for those beyond that age.
