Sharing can be hard--but Little Critter always tries his best to share everything with Little Sister, from his crayons to his puppy. Now, if he could only teach her to share back! A funny, realistic, and reassuring look at a child's struggle to give up (however temporarily) “my stuff.”

Pitching in has never been as entertaining!
