Description

Can a dragon learn to share?
Ruby is a very good little dragon. She faithfully follows all the Dragon Rules: she steals from EVERYONE and shares with NO ONE. However, the other animals are starting to lose their patience with her. If only they could change the rules…
A wonderful story that shows how important (and fun) it is to know how to share.

Key Features

  • Theme: Sharing, Friendship, Selfishness, Cooperation

  • Tone: Funny, tender, and with a clever message.

  • Age: 3–6 years old

Suitable for:

Ideal for starting a discussion about the importance of sharing your things, especially when our little ones find it difficult to do so. It is perfect for bedtime reading, but also for managing small everyday... disagreements!

Why This Book Is Special:

  • A delightful story that speaks directly to the hearts of children (and... dragons!) who feel possessive about their things.

  • Helps children understand the value of friendship and cooperation, showing that sharing is ultimately more fun than being alone.

  • Features wonderful, vibrant illustrations by the creator herself, bringing to life the grumpy dragon and the hungry squirrels.

  • Uses humor to convey an important message, without being overly didactic.

A beautiful book with a hardcover, ideal for withstanding many readings by little hands. It consists of 32 pages filled with Nicola Kinnear's expressive illustrations.

Suggestions for use by parents or educators:

  • Use it as a starting point to talk about the feelings we experience when we don't want to share (jealousy, anger) and how others feel.

  • Encourage empathy by asking the child how the squirrels felt when the dragon wouldn't let them.

  • Connect the story to real-life situations at home or in kindergarten, when issues arise with sharing toys.

With the book you can:

  • Discuss: Why didn’t the dragon want to share the tree? What did he finally gain when he shared?
  • Ask the child: “Have you ever felt like the dragon?” “What would you do in his place?” “How do you think the dragon’s life became better in the end?”

  • Play: Do a role-playing game where the child is the dragon and you are the squirrel (or the opposite) and try to find a solution. Or... draw your own "perfect" tree and decide who will eat what!

    Compared to the other 3 books in the series, it is the least interesting. Also, because it is more surreal, the child did not like it while the others had excited them. Not our favourite.

    All 4 books that this particular author has released are wonderful!! I recommend the little dragon Ruby, who, although she had been taught not to share and was alone, in the end changed and shared her treasures (I say her toys), made friends, and had a better time!

    "Dragons Don't Share" is a tender and clever fairy tale that speaks to children about sharing through humor and emotion, without being didactic. With simple language and beautiful illustrations, it shows that selfishness can bring loneliness, while cooperation and sharing bring joy and friends!!

    At first my son was not very excited about this particular book, because we have all the other books by the same author, so he had already been very influenced, but now he remembers almost the whole story of Ruby by heart, and he can't wait for me to read it to him

    I was thrilled!!!! I liked it a lot!!!! And I must emphasize that I am a bit difficult when it comes to children's books... very few contemporary books excite me. However, I recommend this one!!!! (As an elementary school teacher and mother of two small children)
