Learning to Get Along Books
In Cheri Meiners' Share and Take Turns, simple words present sharing as a way to get along with others when playing. It provides examples of four simple and concrete ways to share: dividing things (with an illustration of children playing with play dough), using things together (a ball), trading things (a toy for a book), and taking turns (at a water table and on a slide). It also goes into more abstract sharing concepts, such as sharing things you know or sharing time by helping someone. It even offers that it is OK when someone doesn't want to share and acknowledges that sharing can be hard, with suggestions on how to deal with that reality...
The final pages offer suggestions for reinforcing the ideas in the book, with follow-up questions for each page and examples of sharing games.
Among the many books describing sharing, this one stands out as being simple and yet not simplistic for the 4- to 7-year-old audience.
This book is part of the Learning to Get Along Series, which also includes:
