Everyone Shares (Except Cat)


By: Jamie Michalak / Illustrated by: Katie Mazeika

Seesaws are not fun for one.

All the animals at the playground like to share—except Cat, that is. Why won't Cat share the seesaw? Maybe he can be convinced to give it a try. With a little practice, Cat finds that fun multiplies when toys, snacks, and nap-time blankets are divvied up fairly.
 
Sweet and silly, Chicken Soup for the Soul Babies makes lessons easy and fun for the littlest readers.
