About This Book
Reach for this book when your preschooler or kindergartner is struggling with the concept of ownership, or when playdates frequently devolve into 'That's mine!' tug-of-war sessions. Robert Munsch uses his signature brand of absurdist humor to help children navigate the social friction of a shared classroom environment. While the teacher's mantra of 'We share everything' is well-intentioned, the story explores what happens when kids take that rule to its most literal and ridiculous extreme. By following Jeremiah and Amanda through their first day of school, children can see their own frustrations mirrored and then diffused through laughter. The book validates the difficulty of sharing while teaching that flexibility and humor are key to making friends. It is a perfect choice for children aged 3 to 7 who are entering new social circles and need a lighthearted way to discuss boundaries and cooperation.
