More positive stories about friendship and sharing

Having a hard time finding stories to read to your toddler or pre-schooler or for your newly-independent reader to read to her/himself? This is the ticket. No foul language here. Nobody picks on his/her little sibling. The characters don't break the rules or disrespect adults. Here are just two stories about problem-solving and friendship. Cute! The only things you might want to be aware of is that in one story the characters are playing hide-and-seek and one takes several turns in a row (the friend doesn't mind and patiently counts and seeks while the first keeps trying to find a good hiding place). Counting is modeled very well in that story. In another story the characters make quite a mess while baking a cake, but they clean up the mess. Also, it's a fairly simple cake with raisins and no frosting if you're concerned about modeling junk-food. (One of the characters tastes the raisins in the process - maybe a few more than one should.) For more stories about friendship, problem-solving and cooperation, see Noisy Neighbors (I Am Reading) and Upstairs Mouse, Downstairs Mole.
