It's Mine!

One of the best books- loved reading it to my kids. Reading it to my grandkids now. All about selfishness, in a gentle, circumspect way. Grandkids love it too.

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.

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!

Great for teaching my Pre-K special needs class about sharing!

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

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.

It's a sweet little story about 3 quarreling frogs with a simple moral: playing together is more fun than fighting. A good lesson for any set of siblings. Well illustrated and simply written. Very enjoyable.

This author has written many books and each book has a liberal social message to share that is fable-like. This one is a story about frogs fighting over the petty things in life and then once a scary storm hits realizing their true value is in togetherness. Nice message. Good book. Not his best book. But still a good message. For kids that are a bit older, you could pull out the metaphors a bit and have a discussion. I always love this author’s art and that his books are set in nature with animals as the characters.

Libro para etapas de infantil y primaria en didáctica del inglés, buen contenido e ilustraciones. Y bastante sencillo en el lenguaje.

Ringrazio Amazon in quanto mi ha rispedito il libro una seconda volta gratuitamente a causa di una prima consegna non fatta bene in cui il libro era stato bagnato e danneggiato dalla pioggia.

3歳の息子のために購入しました。カエルたちの争いと学びが子どもの心に寄り添うようで、楽しそうに聞いています。
