Summary and how it can be used in the classroom: This is the story of two dogs fighting over a bone they found. They begin to ask everyone around them whose bone it should be since one saw it first and the other touched it first. They end up asking a big dog who tricks them into showing him the bone and he takes it. They work together to fight him and get their bone back. In the end they end up sharing the bone. This story can teach children about sharing and learning that it works out better in the end that way. It also shows how other people can help you make decisions if you need them to. This is a very cute book and I advice everyone to read it.
