Mine!
Mary Rees
Claudia has not yet developed the capacity to share belongings with her peers and she decides not to allow Isabel to play with any of her toys. Pushing Isable off her rocking horse and snatching away a doll, she shouts, 'Mine!'. Claudia's mum takes the girls to the park where Claudia is determined that Isabel should not ride her tricycle. However, Claudia gets her comeuppance. This witty picture book with its cartoon style artwork will be appreciated by children and adults alike - a useful story to use as a starting point for discussing the concept of sharing.
