Shared Space

"A pleasingly humorous and harmonious tale." —Boston Globe–Horn Book

From beloved author-illustrator Maddie Frost comes an unlikely friendship story about setting boundaries! Shared Space tells what happens when messy Pak-Rat moves in next door to an orderly Mouse. Perfect for social emotional learning.

Mouse liked having his own yard. There was never a stick out of place. There was room to stretch. Room to move. But when Pak-Rat moves in next door, Mouse realized two things:

One: A neighbor meant sharing the yard.

Two: It was going to be a problem.

You’ll cheer for both Mouse and Pak-Rat in this hilarious story about honest communication, boundaries, and yes—friendship!
