Synopsis
The two fuzzy creatures from You Are (Not) Small argue over a chair, each shouting 'It's mine!' But they soon realise it's better to play than to fight with your friend.
The simple text of Anna Kang and bold illustrations of The New Yorker cartoonist Christopher Weyant tell an original and very funny story about sharing.

If you've got sharing issues in your house then this is the picture book for you. This book tells the story of two bears arguing over whose chair it is and who was sitting in it first. That typical sharing argument and its escalation are depicted well in this story. There is good use of amusing illustrations and bold fonts to explore how children (and even some adults) treat each other when they can't share. The book goes right through the process and how friends resolve their problems and say sorry at the end when they've hurt each other. A good book to share with your preschoolers, especially during that period when sharing just seems impossible to them. Picture book / Ages 3+ / Reviewed by Marie Berry, teacher.
