Customer Reviews

Such a well-written and colorfully illustrated book

I invested in this book to teach my 2 year old about the importance of sharing and taking turns. My son is now 3 years old and uses many of the concepts that are mentioned in this book. I often refer to this book when we are confronted with situations about sharing and taking turns. It has been great tool in teaching the importance of sharing with my son. I highly recommend it.

Review of Children's Books

The products arrived in a timely manner and they were exactly what I wanted. In fact, some other people liked them so much that they wanted to order this series of books. (They were Christmas presents.)

Great book!

This book uses multicultural children in familiar settings to deliver the message of sharing and taking turns. It is a very good way to reinforce appropriate play skills with my preschoolers.

Great art, good message

Excellent book. Covers a variety of situations. Simple art is childlike and perfect. It holds my kids' attention and they want to read it again. Good series.

An excellent series--get them all!

I would highly recommend any of the books in this series by Cheri Meiners. This book has been especially helpful as my 5-year-old sometimes encounters children who *don't* share well or want to take turns. These books caught my eye because the writing level is just right for pre-K and kindergarten children. Truthful without being preachy or overly wordy, the series shows children and family members from many different ethnic groups in the colorful illustrations, and each book addresses issues which are developmentally critical to this particular age group: sharing, taking turns, being afraid, listening, respecting others, helping out at home, etc. These books have given us a starting point to discuss problems at school or interacting with others, and have helped my son to have more empathy for his peers....I am hopeful that this quality will serve him well as he continues on to kindergarten and elementary school. It is exciting to hear him use ideas from this series to problem solve.
