Mine! by Sue Heap
3.0

Age: Toddler
Toys: Stuffed Animals

Amy loves her toys. "'Mine,' she said. 'My blankie. Mine.'" When the twin boys come in and take her toys, Amy is furious. She shouts and grabs them back. Soon Baby Joe cuddles with another toy and Amy also takes it back. But Baby Joe looks so sad and so alone that Amy decides to try a different way to play: "'Mine AND yours.'"

A fine storytime read-aloud with large pictures and 1-2 sentences per page. Heap encourages the practice of empathy and facial recognition since Amy is encouraged to look at sad Baby Joe.
