"The Sharing Basket" shows children how sharing their possessions will give them a "bubbly feeling" inside. In this story, sharing is fun. Sharing is fun-except when the narrator, Timmy, does not like the person he has to share his basket with. Timmy is now mad, and his world is miserable. He has an accident and falls down hard. What happens next is a total surprise! In addition to making sharing fun each day of the week, this story shows that people we don't like can sometimes turn out to be our best friends. Readers will enjoy finding their own morals to this story. But even without any moral lessons, it's a happy read. Read the verses out loud to young children, and let them guess the last rhyming word on that page!
