A cute little book about sharing with friends.

This is a Ready to Read Pre-Level One book, which uses simple words to read together. The text is big with short sentences. Good balance between pictures and words for beginning readers.

The story was good. Very simple because of the reading level, but the message is clear. Nice book about sharing and taking turns. I liked that there is a focus on emotions and how others feel (sad when don't share, happy when get a turn).

Good book, especially for fans of Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood.

This narrative is very clear, and, unlike some of the other Daniel Tiger books, the pages are uncluttered and easy to follow in this pre-level one reader. I like that we see two examples from two different characters sharing with poor Prince Wednesday. One example is parent-guided and the other is independent with an excellent, "hm, what can I do?" answer of "play with an imaginary car!" I do think there's a missed opportunity to write a sentence about how Daniel feels when he shares. The text says "Now Prince Wednesday is happy." Meanwhile, Daniel looks sad and worried, to be honest.

This pre-level one ready to read book is the most textually-distilled possible version of this Daniel Tiger episode, with the key message of "you can take a turn and then I get it back." A great pick for my 3 year old.

Daniel Tiger has all kinds of great social-emotional skills to teach young kids. This book teaches a lesson about what to do when not all of the kids have the same toys, and everyone wants to play together. How can they learn to share together so that everyone is still able to play?

I think my little is too young for this one yet. She loves watching Daniel Tiger, but wasn't as interested in reading about him.
