Helping siblings to understand the other's point of view

The title was cute and it contained several stories that were easy for young children to understand. I figured maybe these stories would help my young children [9 and 4] who were always fighting and teasing each other. "You always take his side because he's a baby" my daughter would cry. She was quite jealous of her younger brother and missed being the only child, the only niece, the only grandchild. My son was fed up being the baby. He wanted to be a big boy. "How come she can do that? I'm not a baby", he'd frown. This book taught them there are two sides to a story and that in the middle ground you can find love. Now that my children are 27 and 21, they still talk about this book and how it made them friends.

This is one of the best children's stories ever

I grew up reading this book, and I shared that with my younger sister, who adores this book. It is a wonderful story about loving each other and about siblings learning that despite their differences they can still love and protect one another. It is a wonderful buy for any family.
