librarybonanza 's review for:
I Have a Balloon
by Ariel Bernstein
Age: Toddler-Kindergarten
Familiar Experience: Sharing
Emotion: Desire
Straightforward dialogue is shared between an owl holding a balloon and a monkey:
The reader soon finds out that Monkey wants that balloon but nothing he does can convince Owl to give it up. That is until Monkey offers a holey, starred sock that finally convinces Owl to trade. But now that Monkey's sock holds value, he's not likely to give it up.
Not exactly the best book to show children how to share, it is a relatable--and humorous--story, nonetheless.
