We Share Everything by Robert Munsch


We Share Everything is a story about a brother and sister who have a hard time sharing. Amanda and Jeremiah are in kindergarten. When they get to class, Jeremiah wants Amanda's book and when she refuses to give it to him he screams. The teacher approaches them and explains that in preschool you are EVERYTHING. This does not seem to stick for the rest of the day they continue to fight over things like blocks and paint. The teacher explains again that they need to share. They discuss among themselves what they could share to prove to their teacher that they indeed can. They decide they will share their clothes. They switch outfits with one another. The teacher sees them in different clothes and get angry. They explain to her that they are in kindergarten and in kindergarten, we share everything!

This is another great book by Robert Munsch about the lesson of sharing. It is funny and entertaining for kids. This goes about the lesson of sharing in a fun way for kids. I could see using this book in my kindergarten and first class classroom. You can have discussions after reading the book about ways in which we can share in the classroom. The pictures are funny and kids will be sure to laugh out loud while it is read. It could be a great read aloud book. The pictures, illustrated by Michael Martchenko who illustrates many book by Robert Munsch, are funny and grab your attention.
