Cole was born in Newark, New Jersey, and grew up in nearby East Orange. She loved science as a child, and had a teacher she says was a little like Ms. Frizzle.

Good book about a young child preparing for a play date. Mom reminds him about sharing and the children have to learn to share toys. Really nice section for parents at the back with tips on how to get children to share.

Our 3-year old granddaughter is learning to share. This is a wonderful book that covers several aspects of sharing with others in a way that a little girl can grasp.
