About The Book

In this hilariously instructive follow-up to Lisa Wheeler and Caldecott Honor–winning illustrator Molly Idle’s People Don’t Bite People, this cheeky and charming picture book reminds little ones that sharing is caring. Learning good behavior has never been so fun!

It’s good to share a blanket.
It’s nice to share some fries.
It’s great to share your crayons
BEFORE somebody cries.

Yes…
People share with people!
It’s not that hard to do.
So if you’d like to cozy up…
I’ll SHARE this book with you!

Raves and Reviews

"The cast of roly-poly round-headed kids is fun to follow through their good choices and bad, and the vignettes, set against backgrounds of deep, gradient colors, always feel more cajoling than scolding."

– Publisher's Weekly, May 27, 2019

"In funny, rhyming text, Wheeler describes specific scenarios to help young children understand exactly how to respond in a variety of situations....As in the pair’s People Don’t Bite People (2018), this book demonstrates that learning social skills can be fun!"

– Booklist, July 26, 2019

"The team behind People Don’t Bite People...presents another useful and engaging toddler-skills picture-book primer in rhyme, with child-friendly examples and Idle’s dynamic, appealing illustrations to downplay the didacticism....its lessons are just as necessary and valuable, and delivered in a way that should entertain young children"

– Horn Book, September/October 2019

"An enjoyable read-aloud for a story time or one on one....This engaging title should be ‘shared’ with siblings as well as children who are in a group setting and would do well to learn sharing skills and etiquette."

– School Library Journal, September 2019
