Share and Take Turns

by Cheri J. Meiners

"Sharing is a social skill all children need to learn--the sooner the better--and this book is an ideal introduction to sharing and taking turns. In simple words and engaging illustrations, this book presents sharing as a positive choice, then describes four ways to share. It points out that sharing goes beyond things: children can also share their knowledge, their creativity, and their time. What if they don't want to share, or someone won't share with them? These topics are covered, too. Concrete examples and reinforcing illustrations help children practice sharing, understand how and why to share, and realize the benefits of sharing.Now children and adults can enjoy our most popular Learning to Get Along books in English and Spanish.
