Read more Having nothing to bring to sharing time, a frustrated Sam searches throughout his house and finally decides to bring his little brother to the class. Original.

PreSchool-Grade 1. In this beginning reader, Sam faces the common problem of not having anything to take to his "sharing time." The very simple, rhyming text describes what his classmates have brought. The boy finally solves his problem when he realizes that his little brother is the perfect choice. The class is as varied as anyone could ask for, with children from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds and one little girl in a wheelchair. The cartoon illustrations are appealing. The short text could be read aloud, but the format lends itself more to independent readers. Although it is not distinguished in any way, this book provides a positive solution to a familiar predicament.?Dina Sherman, Brooklyn Children's Museum, NYCopyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.
