Playing fairly doesn''t always come naturally to kids - and sharing isn''t always easy. Plus, the hurt feelings that happen when others won''t share can make matters even worse. Nora, Henry, and Dan find this out when Miss Clover builds a special space station in their classroom. Everyone wants to play at once! Can they figure out how to share?

This engaging title in the new series of Our Emotions and Behavior books from Free Spirit shows that when kids get frustrated and mad, there are ways for them to calm down. Soon they see that playing fairly with other kids, and sharing with them, can make the day more fun for everyone.

Near the end of this humorous child behavior book, a series of pictures invites kids to tell a story in their own words. A special section for adults presents positive coping skills for children and ideas for talking with kids about feeling reluctant to share - or feeling mad when someone else won''t share - and how to deal with those emotions. Ideal for home and K-3 classroom settings.
