Book Description
for Sharing by Yusuke Yonezu
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
"We both want this fish!" Two small cats-one orange, one gray-tug a blue fish between them. With a turn of the page, the two smiling kitties each hold half the fish. "Now we each get some." A board book about sharing marries design to concept and function to form with elegant simplicity, the clever use of colored backgrounds and die-cuts allowing the coveted item to be divided with each turn of the page. Two mice with one piece of cheese, two bunnies with one carrot, two monkeys with one banana, two pigs with one apple, and two bears with one bunch of grapes all share what they have by splitting it in two. And when two kids both want Mommy? A family hug is perhaps the best solution of all. Bright colors and uncluttered design add to the appeal. (Ages 1-3)
