As our children grow there are plenty of lessons we as parents want them to learn. Some we are able to teach them, while other they have to learn through experience. But either way we can can help reinforce those lessons through talking, activities and even reading.
The Baby’s Brilliant Read Along book series was created to provide parents with another useful tool to enrich their young children’s lives and to help educate them in a fun and meaningful way. Today we are excited to introduce the second book in the series, “There’s Is Nothing Like Sharing”, written with the purpose of helping young children learn one of life’s most important lessons, sharing.
Written for children ages 2 to 5 years, “There’s Nothing Like Sharing” is the adorable short story of little Jack and his brand new toy, a shiny red fire truck. Jack can hardly wait for a new day to begin so he can head to the park and play with his new toy. When the day finally dawns, he is ready to go! Jack and his mom head down the street to the park where Jack hopes to spend the entire day with his beloved new toy. Soon though another boy comes over and wants to play. Jack, like all young children have done at one point in time, quickly grabs his fire truck and says “Mine”! As time passes by, and Jack continues to play alone, he soon starts to notice how much fun the other children are having. Laughing and playing and…sharing their toys! Now Jack has a decision to make and a lesson to learn.
Written with fun, rhyming text, and bright, colorful illustrations, “There’s Nothing Like Sharing” will capture the attention of your children and have them asking you to read it again and again! Toddlers will enjoy hearing you read it aloud, and beginning readers will be able to easily repeat the simple text and fill in the rhyming words. Using likeable characters and familiar situations to which every child can relate, this storybook is a great way to help children learn the importance of sharing.
