Flip's Snowman

A parent might reach for this book when their toddler or preschooler is feeling possessive over a new toy or a special creation and struggling to share. This gentle story follows a little penguin, Flip, who builds the perfect snowman and wants it all to himself. When other animals come near, he shoos them away, but he soon learns that having a perfect snowman is lonely. He discovers that sharing his creation brings a much greater joy: friendship. Through simple text and cozy, textured illustrations, the book beautifully models the emotional journey from possessive pride to the warmth of companionship. It’s an ideal choice for gently introducing the idea that sharing experiences can be more rewarding than keeping things to yourself.
