Me First

Wonderful book for my grandsons... Teaches a great lesson

I love the rich colors of the illustrations and the adorable characters. As a parent, I hear "Me First" about 100 times a day. This is a great book to spark discussion about team work. Anyone with little kids will love this book.

This book is AMAZING! A friend recommended it to me and I immediately fell in love. Well written, charming, funny, and beautifully illustrated! I especially enjoyed the clever twists! The message (that fighting over who's first and other similarly trivial matters is truly unnecessary) is conveyed extremely well. Hope to see more books from this author!

We really enjoyed this book. The author does a great job portraying the two siblings, Hal and Martha. We don’t feel that either one is in the “right,” and neither dominates the storyline. That makes the book appealing to both younger and older sibling readers.As much as my kids enjoy fantastical picture book and magical realism, there’s a lot to be said for true-to-life characters in familiar true-to-life situations. No one is flying to the moon or consorting with magical animals in this book. OK, the characters are donkeys, but they sound and act like real kids, and that holds strong appeal for both my 5 and 9-year-olds.

This book is about two siblings that fight over who goes first All. The. Time. By the end of the story, after an incident where one of them almost gets hurt, they are sharing and being nice to each other. It's cute and has sweet illustrations. I think I like Bear with Me more.
