The repetition will be helpful for young readers and will remind parents of the need for patience when coping with young children.

Peacefully navigate the do's and don'ts of sharing toys at playtime in a surprising story about encouraging the development of generosity through ownership.

Unravelling the book

This picture book is about a diverse group of toddlers who are learning to share with each other.  It is affiliated with the American Psychological Association.  The wee ones are at the developmental stage where it's all about them and in no certain terms they make it known that sharing is not part of their makeup at this particular  time in their life.  

These toddlers want to battle it out over the clothes to wear from the dress-up corner, the food to choose in the play kitchen, and the crayons to use at the art table just to name a few.  Luckily a patient and caring teacher intervenes each time and helps the children make an appropriate choice and eases their dilemma by giving them alternatives to play with.   She helps instill in the toddlers respect for one another and she gently teaches them that they must wait  their turn to get what they want rather than just taking it and causing hurt feelings to others. 

The repetition in the book will reinforce these ideas and also remind adults that through patience and care the concept of sharing can be obtained.  

At the end of the book is included a Note to Parents and Caregivers written by the authors about supporting toddlers' needs for ownership.
