This book provides a great discussion opener for parents about sharing and friendship and what happens when you think you should do something but don’t want to do it.

But as it happens, Piggie is carrying a cone, and offers to share it with Gerald. However, Piggie isn’t around and might never know the difference! Gerald continues to ponder, and by the time Piggie comes along, the ice cream has melted so the question is moot. Gerald gets an ice cream cone and really doesn’t want to share it, but feels like he should share it with Piggie. Gerald the elephant is best friends with Piggie the pig. This book for very young children, part of a series on doing the right thing, is very funny, and has a good message in it as well.
