About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is in a defensive 'mine' phase or struggling to play fairly with siblings and peers. It serves as a humorous icebreaker for those tense moments after a toy-related meltdown, allowing children to laugh at the absurdity of greed rather than feeling lectured. The story follows Pig, a wonderfully expressive pug who flatly refuses to share with his polite friend, Trevor. Through bold illustrations and bouncy rhyme, the book explores themes of accountability and the social consequences of selfishness. It is perfectly aged for preschoolers and early elementary students who are navigating the complex rules of social play. Parents will appreciate the way it uses 'the natural consequences of one's actions' to deliver a lesson that sticks without being overly preachy.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and metaphorical. It deals with physical injury (Pig ends up in bandages/a cast) as a direct result of his own recklessness. The resolution is hopeful and funny, though it suggests Pig's change of heart might be more about his physical limitations than a total moral overhaul.
