Did you know the earliest recorded dragon story comes from ancient Mesopotamia, around 2100 BCE? Even thousands of years ago, people loved imagining dragons! That love for dragons is still alive today, especially in books like Sharing is Caring, Dragon by Bianca Schulze, where dragons bring fun and important lessons for kids. Let’s dive in!
MY REVIEW
Sharing is Caring is a delightful and heartwarming story by Bianca Schulze that teaches young readers about kindness, patience, and the joy of sharing. Written with charm and illustrated beautifully by Samara Hardy, this book follows Dragon as she embarks on a trip to her favorite place—the library. But when Dragon’s beloved cat story is already taken by Sir Fiero, a valuable lesson unfolds.
Through playful tug-of-war moments, heartfelt expressions, and a surprise twist when the book lands in unexpected hands, the reader learns that patience and sharing can turn conflict into connection and make story time even more magical. The resolution, where Dragon and Sir Fiero learn to share their favorite book, is touching and empowering. This heartwarming tale shows how patience and sharing bring friends closer!
Perfect for ages 3-7, Sharing is Caring combines an engaging narrative with interactive elements that invite young readers to participate, such as giving Dragon a pat or helping her make choices. This story is perfect for teaching social skills in a fun, relatable way.
The message is simple yet profound: sharing isn’t just about fairness—it’s about showing care and building joy with others. Whether read at bedtime or in a classroom, this book will leave children smiling and eager to share in their own lives. Highly recommended!
