Illustrated by
Molly Idle.
Here's another useful and engaging toddler-skills picture-book primer in rhyme (People Don't Bite People) with child-friendly examples and Idle's dynamic, appealing illustrations downplaying didacticism. The story covers friendship sharing, sibling sharing, and things not to share ("And please, oh PLEASE, / don't share your sneeze!"). Intangibles (e.g., "love, respect, and time") and the whys of sharing are touched upon.
