With the sometimes difficult to understand virtues of sharing, kindness, good manners, consequences, proper behavior, thinking of others, empathy, correcting our wrongs, helping others, and friendship, Spencer the Squirrel Scurries to Share offers young children an excellent and valuable introduction to these concepts and values. The book contains many teachable moments that children ranging in age from Nursery, Daycare, Pre K, Kindergarten and beyond should find very relatable and easy to comprehend.

Book Reviews

Readers’ Favorite
What do you do when you realize there is a need in your community? You have choices to make. You could ignore the situation and pretend it does not exist. I have seen way too many communities do just this. Another option is to share what you have with those who do not have enough. In Spencer the Squirrel Scurries to Share, Spencer decides to show compassion and do his part in alleviating the food shortage in his community. Leni Porfiri writes engagingly, so children will become involved in the story. The color pencil illustrations by Olha Tkachenko add visual delight. Read this book to or with your children, then discuss how Spencer showed kindness, compassion, and love. Talk to your children about what they can do to help others. Children who grow up learning how to care for others will make the best citizens in the future.” -Philip Van Heusen, Readers’ Favorite
In the uncertain times we live in, meaningful and impactful writing for young people is of key importance in maintaining authentic experiences in the lives and education of our children. If you value correct behavior and proper childhood development that teaches sharing, empathy, diversity and inclusion, Spencer the Squirrel Scurries to Share is a MUST for your child's library.
