How Selfish!
How Selfish! | Clare Helen Welsh
1 post | 1 read
The hilarious follow-up title to How Rude! which introduced us to the wonderful duo, Dot and Duck. They're back to share even more giggles in this sweet story about sharing, manners, and friendship. One day Dot and Duck find a stick, only Dot thinks it's a sword and Duck thinks it's a flag. When Dot refuses to share the new toy, she goes to any lengths to make sure Duck doesn't try to take it. How will Duck react to such selfish behavior? Simple, funny, and ultimately touching, this book will appeal to any child who is learning what it means to share and, more importantly, what it is to be a true friend. Bright and colorful illustrations accompany this fun and easy to read story, which will bring a smile to the faces young children time and time again.

3 ⭐ Dot and duck are playing. But not with each other. Duck has brought out toys and made their own imaginative toys out of sticks. But Dot takes things from Duck. And Duck‘s refrain is always how selfish. This is typical behavior you would see in kids. And overall, I guess the story works. There are things that give me pause. At one point duck goes ouch that hurt. and that just hangs there. No apologies. No checking to make it better.

LibrarianRyan No are you OK. Also Dots reaction when Duck says they‘ll tell seems a tad bit extreme. This may be an adult reading too much into this. While I like the illustrations, I think they are well done and timeless. I would have a hard time sharing this story because of what I see within the pages. 2w
