It's Mine! cover

A playful exploration of ownership and friendship unfolds in It's Mine!, as various animals claim a mysterious object.

In It's Mine!, a whimsical tale unfolds as various animal characters discover a mysterious object that appears out of nowhere. Each character, including Mouse, Frog, Fox, and Bear, claims ownership of this enigmatic thing, leading to a delightful exploration of friendship and sharing. The story captures the essence of childhood curiosity and the playful disputes that arise when something new enters the scene.

As the animals debate what the object could be—whether it is a piece of fruit, a wheel, a ball, or even a chair—the narrative cleverly reveals the personalities of each character. Their claims of 'It's mine, all MINE!' highlight the humorous yet relatable nature of wanting to possess something unique. The story's charm lies in its ability to engage young readers, encouraging them to think about ownership and the importance of collaboration.

Ultimately, It's Mine! is not just about the object itself but about the journey of the characters as they navigate their feelings and relationships. The author-illustrator, renowned for their engaging storytelling, brings the characters and their antics to life with vibrant illustrations, making this read-aloud experience both entertaining and thought-provoking for children and parents alike.
