Jack and Georgina are a brother and sister fighting over a toy plane. When they finally end up breaking the toy, their mother gets mad and asks them why they can't share anything.

This is a book about siblings Jack and Georgina who learn to share. The book starts off with the two siblings fighting over a toy plane, and they eventually break the plane. Their mom tells them to share, and the siblings do. The siblings share teddy bears and pencils... even the chicken pox!
I think this story would be suitable for kindergartners and first graders because it can teach them how to share correctly. Throughout the book, the two siblings share items, but they do not share them in a way that is kind or respectful. For example, Jack shared Georgina's teddy bear with their dog. Kindergartners and first graders could correct that and say that it is not a kind to share because the dog can rip the teddy bear. This is a cute book that can teach young children a lesson that can be used in their daily lives when they play with others.… (more)
