“Jake Learns to Share” by prolific children’s book author Crystal Bowman combines “I Can Read!” simplicity with a great message. This is a simple but engaging tale for young children. The illustrations by Karen Maizel are cute and appealing. The story has a moral, but Bowman isn’t too heavy-handed with it.

Are You Like Jake? This was a simple, sweet story in teaching children how much God loves for us to share and to be kind with each other. My twins have to be reminded of this on a consistent basis. Just like my twins…Jake would like to do everything by “himself”. He quickly learns that playing games alone is not much fun.
