It's Mine! Paperback – Picture Book, March 19, 1996

This is one of about 5 books that I purchased with the intent of helping my 3 year old "come to terms" with sharing.Leo Lionni gives us a charming tale about three frogs who do nothing all day but bicker! They fight over the island, the water, and even the air. It takes a flood of water for the three frogs to realize the importance of sharing.What is most important is my child's reaction to this book. He was also charmed by the characters, found humor in the text, and appreciated the storyline. Thumbs up from both of us!

I love this book and have used it in whole group and small group counseling groups!

I bought It's Mine! as a companion piece for the Mino-O-Saur, another book about sharing and thinking about how your actions affect those around you. It is gently told and the lesson is not overt, but the story lends itself to good discussion. The last line, "It's ours!" gets kids thinking about how the frogs have changed their attitude, going from "mine" to "ours." It opens a discussion on how we think of the natural world and seven or eight yr. olds will relate to the toad as they all know how annoying bickering people can be. Not to mention selfish ones.

The grand children enjoyed it.Although they gave it a second thought once they realized there was a moral to the story.And that is what is good about It's Mine.

I have a toddler who hates sharing & this is starting to help him see it a little differently

Leo Lionni's books are all cute and fun to read. We bought this book because our child was given the stuffed frog when he was in the hospital. I'm a sucker for books that have character stuffed animals to hold while we're reading the book.

Doesn't get any better than this. A wonderful fable by the phenomenal Leo Lionni. Children (and adults) can learn about sharing with this humorous story of three selfish frogs who bicker and fight over everything on the island.

Kids loved it
