Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the complexities of fairness and the social politics of sharing. It is the perfect tool for a child who understands the basics of taking turns but gets frustrated when a group grows and resources shrink. This story moves beyond simple manners to show how math can actually be a tool for kindness and justice. As more and more animal friends join a picnic, the group must constantly re-calculate how to divide their treats so everyone is included. Donna Jo Napoli uses humor and a growing cast of characters to model proactive problem solving and teamwork.
