Bookroo's summary

Martha loves her toys, but sharing them? Not so much. As she clings to her favorite word, "MINE!", she discovers that playing alone isn't as fun as it seems. This playful tale follows Martha as she learns that sharing, one toy at a time, can bring unexpected joy and companionship. Will Martha embrace the art of sharing, or will her solitary playtime continue? Join her on this humorous journey of growth and friendship, where each day brings a new challenge and a chance to learn that sharing isn't so bad after all.

From the publisher

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.

“Sharing is hard, but it turns out that it can be a lot more fun than having all of your own toys but nobody to play with and no audience, and Martha discovers. The facial expressions in the illustrations beautifully capture how much effort it can take for littles to share, which I love, along with the realism in that even once you've decided you want to share... it's still a learning curve :)”
