Mrs. Stokes' class thought this book had an important message. We liked that the sister was a good example and shared in the story.
My class was able to make connections with how they also did not like to share sometimes. Sometimes it's hard to share with siblings, but also with friends.
This book was great for the kids to make text-to-self connections. Many of the kids could relate either as the younger/older sibling.
