This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. Information technology is actually fun to read the book with my Mom. My Mom reads the left part, I read the right part and we read the role in the middle together. My favorite piece in the book is "I like", because I do like kittens, ham and cakes. My Mom's part says she likes something different from me, and it is funny to say together "we don't agree on anything!". But in the cease the left and right part agrees that they both like reading.

They realize it'due south the same coin, so they split up it up and buy a book to share. So, in simply this one story alone the author has managed to address honesty, sharing, trouble solving and math. Brilliant! All of the stories in "Very Short Stories to Read Together" are every bit as adept as "The Dime".

The illustrations are adorable and aren't only there for accompaniment. They contribute to each tale and at times tell a story all their own. They're colorful and whimsical, and are certain to delight even the youngest child.

I would highly recommend getting a copy of this book and adding it to your child's book collection. Wonderful!
