Twin girls Fifi and Frankie have very different tastes and preferences. While Fifi loves pink, princesses and ponies, Frankie likes blue, bears and bikes. But one thing they both agree on is how much they love their cuddly toy, Funny Bunny. The girls squabble and wrestle over the rabbit, which results in him having his ears torn off. Grandma Flo saves the day not only by sewing Funny Bunny’s ears back on but also by devising a sharing schedule. Frankie and Fifi have custody of the toy on alternate days, and best of all, on Sundays they all play together.

Things we liked: Gorgeously illustrated and succinctly yet skilfully written, children will find this book very amusing. It should strike a chord with them as they recognise their own efforts to share toys! The book acknowledges that it is sometimes difficult to share, but it is ultimately rewarding.
