Spots Alias Prince, written and illustrated by Esphyr Slobodkina. Originally published in 1955 by Lothrop. Republished in 1993 by Greenwillow.

Farmer Jones thought there was just enough food to make a feast for Spotty, his horse. But he was mistaken. For after Spotty had eaten his fill, there was enough left over to feed all the animals in the barnyard. A wonderful feast indeed!

 

The gradual way the meal is portioned-- the largest share for the largest animal and the last tiny crumb that is carried away by the ant—will be completely satisfying to children, and, without preaching, point out the logic of sharing.
