Martha doesn't share!

By Samantha Berger (Hardcover Book, 2010)

Martha has a new favorite word.
And that word is MINE!

Martha has officially mastered apologizing. Unfortunately, she still has a lot to work on when it comes to sharing. And while she doesn't learn to love it, she does discover that having her toys to herself means having to play with them all by herself, too. Not so fun!

This hilarious follow-up to Martha doesn't say sorry! shows readers that sharing isn't all that bad when you take it one (small) toy at a time--like Martha does. It gets easier every day. Well, almost every day.

Praise for Martha Doesn't Say Sorry:

* "Youngsters will recognize Martha's struggle, and they'll appreciate this additional perspective on the fact that..."sorry" can be the hardest word." --The Bulletin (starred review)

"The watercolor-and-colored-pencil artwork encapsulates Martha's girliness, her better-than-thou attitude and her internal struggle with her conscience. Whatley's representation of body language and facial expression powerfully complement the text. An enjoyable introduction to what could be a new beloved character." --Kirkus

"Should elicit giggles. Berger is a sly, sharp writer who clearly understands just how much is at stake for her heroine, which should make the message go down easy with readers." --Publishers Weekly

"Martha is a delight to follow through her learning experience." --Children's Literature
