The Peanut
THE PEANUT: A NUTTY TALE ABOUT SHARING by Simon Rickerty. Aladdin, 2013.
Two "creatures" (you can see them on the cover; they look rather like bright splotches of color) find a peanut. Each claims the nut as its own and shows how they can use the nut as a chair, a hat, a boat, etc. However, whose peanut is it? The answer will surprise readers as will the lovely twist at the end.
