The Peanut: a Nutty Tale About Sharing Simon Rickerty

Marc Notes: A nutty tale about sharing--Cover.; Two spiders learn about sharing while playing with a peanut.; Ages 4-7. Publisher Marketing: Inspire your mind with peanut power! This inventive picture book encourages collaboration and activates the imagination. Is it a hat? Or a boat? Or a drum? Whatever it is, these two quirky creatures want it--and they DON'T want to share! Confusion, fun, and adventure ensue in this clever, sparsely worded picture book...all because of one little peanut.
