The Great Apple Quarrel

A short animated story about two friends, one apple, and learning to share

For grown-ups

A good one for the moment right after a squabble, not before it. The film does not lecture: the two friends want the same thing, neither is the villain, and the fix is theirs. Ask your child what they would have done with the apple — there is more than one good answer, which is the point.

Frequently asked questions

How long is The Great Apple Quarrel?

About a minute and a half — short enough to watch twice, which children tend to ask for.

What age is it for?

About 3 to 6, the years when sharing stops being a rule adults enforce and starts being something children negotiate between themselves.

Can I make a story like this about my own child?

Yes. ReadKidz makes a short animated story from a single sentence — your child’s name, their friend, the thing they both wanted.
