Friends share the fun.

Did You Know?

Animals can share things too! Look at the red fox and the dog. They are best buddies. They are sharing a blanket.

Think!

What are some other ways to be a good friend?

Who Is Sharing?

These kids are at school. They are playing. Look at the picture. How many kids do you see who are sharing? How many kids do you see who are not playing nicely?
