Sharing a Shell

Great plot and illustrations. Lovely way to introduce rhyming worlds and rhythm through the text as well as the moral of the story. Great for opening up a range of conversations with children from kindness, friendship, handling emotions, the natural world, animals & habitats, and environmental factors.

Bought for my nephew's little boy. I read every book I buy for him. I had a lovely time reading this and I'm sure he'll enjoy it.

We bought this for a friend's young son. I asked my 9yr old to pick his five favourite books from when he was the same age and this was one of them. He still enjoys it now. It has a great glitter, texture effect and the illustration is beautiful. Needless to say with Julia Donaldson, the story is also lots of fun and endearing.

One of my personal favourites by JD & being illustrated by LM, this book is zo so charming. As for the young readers, it is intended for pre-schoolers, younger school children, and, let's face it, this is the age when details around them make their lives. This is why you will often find your child fascinated by wee tiny creatures and all things unnoticed or actively ignored by adults. This book features 3 tiny friends going through turmoils of life together, and what a nice way they choose to go about it. It touches upon a lot of subjects in such a light and reassuring way that your little one is bound to live this book. Whether the child prefers company of others or enjoys being on their own, this little masterpiece will resonate with them, as they still learn about the collaboration with other from a safe distance or by hurling-burling in the action. If you are familiar with Lydia's illustrations, she has an absolutely charming way of capturing the essence and delivering it in a way that looks fascinating and appealing to both the young and older. As to Julia's rhymes, this books ranks amongst top 10 in my opinion. If you ask me, a must have.

Fabulous story and art work but sad to see the new copies don’t have any sparkley glitter on them. Bought this for my nostalgic daughter who’s birthday is coming up. Big surprise and I’m so excited myself.

Bought this for 4 year old Grandson who had lost his. This was one of his favourite bedtime stories and asked lot’s of questions when reading. Wonderful illustration’s and so very colourful. Excellent buy.

I absolutely love this book. Beautiful bright illustrations, story isn’t too long, lots of rhymes, great flow, cute characters, creatures you’d find on the British coast and all it’s about sharing. We have almost all of Julia Donaldson books and this is probably my favourite (my children love it almost as much as me!)

Great book on sharing. Toddler loved this.

This is a wonderful picture book. My 3 children love the story and the glittery pictures. The story tells about sharing, which is great for my kids - this is an attribute they can really learn since they are fighting over stuff all the time. It is also a story about friendship and teamwork. Altogether, a great book.

I can honestly say that I have yet to read a bad Julia Donaldson book. Sharing a Shell is the charming story of a tiny hermit crab, reluctant to share his beautiful new shell. Julia Donaldson's rhythmic writing makes this story easy to read and remember, perfect for sharing with little ones. Sharing a Shell is a charming book with a great message. Bound to become a family favorite.

Adoro questo libro, lo conosco già, l'ho preso per leggere al mio figlio, per ora è ancora piccolo, ma più avanti.. dai 2 anni e mezzo in su. Bellissimo i disegni e la storia a rime.

My daughter loves this series. The story is very sweet and explains to littles ones the importance of sharing. My daughter loves the pictures.

De vorm van het boek viel tegen: kartonnen pagina's is niet echt geschikt voor kinderen ouder dan 5 jaar.
