Sharing a Shell

Very satisfied with the gift for a two year old girl

One of my personal favourites by JD & being illustrated by LM, this book is zo so charming.As for the young readers, it is intended for pre-schoolers, younger school children, and, let's face it, this is the age when details around them make their lives. This is why you will often find your child fascinated by wee tiny creatures and all things unnoticed or actively ignored by adults. This book features 3 tiny friends going through turmoils of life together, and what a nice way they choose to go about it.It touches upon a lot of subjects in such a light and reassuring way that your little one is bound to live this book. Whether the child prefers company of others or enjoys being on their own, this little masterpiece will resonate with them, as they still learn about the collaboration with other from a safe distance or by hurling-burling in the action.If you are familiar with Lydia's illustrations, she has an absolutely charming way of capturing the essence and delivering it in a way that looks fascinating and appealing to both the young and older. As to Julia's rhymes, this books ranks amongst top 10 in my opinion.If you ask me, a must have.

2nd time purchasing as daughter loves it that much she's worn out the first copy. Great kids book

Granddaughter loves it reads it all the time

Fabulous story and art work but sad to see the new copies don’t have any sparkley glitter on them.Bought this for my nostalgic daughter who’s birthday is coming up. Big surprise and I’m so excited myself.

Fun story and lovely illustrations.

Lovely large copy of this great story. Perfect for schools. Well packaged. Very Pleased.

My granddaughter loves Julia Donaldson books. They are so well written and some of the characters appear again in other stories. We always have fun talking about the characters and she listens intently to the stories which are exciting and interesting for her. These books also help her develop an understanding of the emotions involved. We have quite a few of these books and I can’t recommend them highly enough.

De vorm van het boek viel tegen: kartonnen pagina's is niet echt geschikt voor kinderen ouder dan 5 jaar.

Great quality book With glittery illustrations to keep the child engaged. An adorable story about sharing!! Loved it! My son is 3.5 and he’s in love with this beautiful book. Pages are sturdy too!

Me ha gustado mucho el libro. Tiene una estética muy bonita y entretenida con purpurina que a los niños les encanta.

Adoro questo libro, lo conosco già, l'ho preso per leggere al mio figlio, per ora è ancora piccolo, ma più avanti.. dai 2 anni e mezzo in su. Bellissimo i disegni e la storia a rime.

(Teacher/parent review)This story starts of in a strange way but it does get much better as you read through.Discussion topics of this story include making friends, sharing, understanding others emotions and why it is important to listen to each other and sharing your opinions in a nice way.I’m disappointed that there was a vague resolution to the problem where neither party apologizes to the other. That’s not a very good message to send to children , that problems can just be swept under a rug and you can continue a friendship pretending like nothing ever happened.
