Sharing can be so hard.especially when you've got a brand-new fishing net to play with! Smudge is having such a wonderful time scooping treasures out of the river--like a water snail, diving beetles, and shrimps--that the tiny mouse just won't give it up. "I want to catch a little silver fish first," she stubbornly tells her frustrated friends, who wait in vain to take their turn. One by one, they drift away, leaving Smudge all alone. And, soon the laughter coming from upstream--the sound of pals playing together and helping each other--makes Smudge realize that sharing is lots more fun. Now, if she can only find a way to make it up to her friends.A charming tale, sweetly illustrated.
