review 1: I suppose this could be a little didactic, but it works. Its simplicity in text and illustration is endearing and sweet. And just to make sure I was right, I looked up "plorringe." (It IS a made-up fruit.) I think this is worth including in one of my preschool storytimes, because it can't hurt to throw in a "be nice" lesson among the scads of my silly choices. :-)5/7/14: I was worried that the Manners theme would be too didactic, so this book actually turned out to be NOT didactic compared to the first book I'd read. This was just a nice story with a sweet ending. Kids liked it, though I did have the quiet crowd.
review 2: I liked the illustrations and the words of the story. I would change the title, so it won't be so predictable, but still a good book. I co... moreuld use it to talk about the importance of sharing, but also I could use it for my science lesson on growing plants.I would talk about fruits and how they grow. I would also talk about the patience you need to have, until the tree gives fruit. I will bring different fruit to the classroom for the students to see, smell and taste! They will share and take turns passing the fruits among them before we make our fruit salad for snack! less
