My Kid Review

Young children have a difficulty sharing, especially when it is a favorite toy. In I Don’t Want to Share My Bear!, Vetter gives a great solution to this problem. 

Big brother does not want to share his favorite bear with little brother – mom says he has to. Big brother comes up with a plan to earn money to purchase a bear of his own for little brother. The pictures and text will show children a possible solution when they don’t want to share a favorite toy.

K-12 Christian school libraries should consider adding I Don’t Want to Share My Bear! to their picture book section. It is appropriate for preschool and elementary children. 

I received a complimentary copy of I Don’t Want to Share My Bear! This is my honest review.
