Will Bear Share? Hilary Leung. 2018. Scholastic. 40 pages. [Source: Review copy]
First sentence: Bear has a lot to give...but will she share?
Premise/plot: Will Bear Share? is an adorable board book about sharing. The text is simple, but the story is entertaining. You don't need a lot of words to tell a good story. You just need the right words and the right illustrations!
My thoughts: This book is not a 'preachy' book on how you should share every single thing all the time. Some things are for sharing; some things are NOT for sharing. It's good to share an umbrella with a friend. It is NOT good to share a toothbrush with a friend.
I love the way this story unfolds page by page. I found the story entertaining. I love the ending!!!
If there's one thing I didn't like about this one, however, it is that the pages are a little on the thin side and can stick together making it difficult to turn the pages. If you're not paying attention to the text--to the story--you can skip over some pages.
But for the most part, I really enjoyed this one!
