I Can Share!

My toddler and I enjoy this book. Straight to the point and drives the message home clearly. Big words. Bright colored pages. Easy for a toddler to read and follow along with. Good price point.

My two year old likes to read this over and over

My toddler has been having issues at school with toy sharing and personal space, so we got this book plus a few others around this theme, to help him understand these concepts. This book is visually beautiful, has different scenes, and not only about sharing. It includes one for you one for me, we play together, and sharing, so it's very helpful for him to understand.

My toddler had been struggling with sharing while at daycare. I felt like his teachers didn’t do the best at teaching the kiddos how to take turns and share which in turn prevented my son from learning how to share with other children. He is an only child and never struggle sharing when I’m around. This book is an easy quick read to help toddlers learning to share

We really enjoyed this little book about sharing! It was easy enough for my two year old to understand and I have noticed he even implements some of the things they mention in the book. I like how this sharing book isn’t so much about forcing your kids to give up their toys, but rather how to handle when someone wants a toy that you are playing with. It’s more so along the lines of “you can’t have mine right now, but here’s one that you can play with.” Or “you can’t take my bike, but we can ride together.”

4 year old Great Granddaughter LOVES this book. She can't read yet but after I read it she goes through book and remembers info I read to her and reads her version to herself again and again.

This book was better than I expected! I love the flip up way that it changes the entire chain of events in the book to make kids see that a simple change means you are sharing. This book was purchased to provide courtesy lessons to my children before the issues even occur! I love reading this book to my 3 year old and my 1 year old loves it too! It really is an amazing book that teach kids to share and that sharing is something that can simply done! I most definitely will be ordering more books from this Author!

Look, I really like this author and own and read a ton of her books to my kids, but this one just really rubs me the wrong way. My main problem is that the book is called "I Can Share" and then what follows are several examples of kids doing things that are anything but sharing. For example, One girl asks, "Can I play with your doll?" The other girl replies..."No...but you can play with this other Doll." Ok, That is NOT sharing. Its appeasement. None of the examples are sharing. They are keeping what you have and appeasing the person asking you for something by giving them something else. Now, ironically, I tend to believe that "sharing" is highly over-rated. We try to teach kids to "share" their toys with other kids, when in fact, we as adults rarely share our toys with our friends. However, what I don't want to do is teach my kids that words have bendable meanings...or that this is what sharing means. The verb use of the word share is as follows: 1. to divide and distribute in shares; apportion. 2. to use, participate in, enjoy, receive, etc., jointly: The two chemists shared the Nobel prize. None of the actions in this book are remotely close to that definition. This book should be titled, "I Can Mollify." or even better "How to Spin Your Friends Into Appeasement When They Want Something You Got."
