About This Book
This charming picture book introduces Henry and Henrietta, two pig siblings who share a deep affection for their versatile blanket, which serves as both a cozy comfort and a magnificent cape. The story humorously explores the common childhood dilemma of sharing, as the pigs' individual desires clash over the blanket. As their frustration mounts, they consider a drastic solution, but ultimately discover that their bond is more important than any object. Author-illustrator James Burks delivers a sweet, relatable tale about sibling dynamics, compromise, and the enduring preference for togetherness, making it an excellent tool for discussing sharing and family love with young children.
Pig siblings Henry and Henrietta love their red blanket. It is soft, it smells good, and it makes a great cape! As much as they each love playing with the blanket, they don't love sharing it. Will ripping it in two solve all their problems?
