It's hard for kids to share, especially when odd numbers of things are being divided, as two animal friends trying to divvy up cookies and toy cars find out. Following some realistic squabbling relayed in the sparest of rhyming texts, Mom is called in and the friends realize that sharing is better than having nothing. The scenario is depicted in brightly patterned illustrations that add to the book's overall appeal.
