THAT'S MINE! is a board book about sharing. Told in simple terms, the book follows a young child who is playing with farm animals and unwilling to share. When she takes them all for herself, another child gets upset and goes to play elsewhere. When the young girl sees the other children playing together happily, she decides to share and goes over to share her animals with them. She realizes it is more fun to play together!
What I loved: This is a simple story with a lesson of sharing. The book is largely told through the illustrations, capturing emotions and the plot through those rather than with words. The text itself is very brief, with some pages being without any words, and this makes it one that children can really tell to themselves. The sketch-like illustrations manage to be expressive and focused.
What left me wanting more: It can be challenging for young readers to fill in the blanks themselves, and a lot of this story happens without words for it. Caregivers may need to help fill in the blanks and can help guide the discussion around what emotions each of the children may be feeling and allowing young readers to help consider interpreting faces and illustrations. On the flip side, it does require more to really help them digest and understand the story, so it's not such a simple read, which means it will not have the repetitive nature that little ones enjoy.
Final verdict: A story about sharing, THAT'S MINE! shows children that sharing is more fun with expressive emotions and simple text.

With simple, almost abrupt phrases, this sturdy board book teaches youngsters the benefits of sharing. While youngsters in a daycare or aftercare program are playing with farm animals, one young girl simply cannot resist keeping as many of the toys to herself as she possibly can. At first she seems wiling to play well with another girl, but that quickly changes as she claims the dog, the cat, and every other animal available, even sending her would-be playmate scurrying away when she realizes that she's clearly not wanted. No matter since another playmate, a boy, invites her to join him. They end up having so much fun that the selfish girl decides to join them and share her toys. The double-page spread showing the realization dawning on her that she's all alone and has made the wrong choice by not being willing to share speaks volumes, and of course, the book itself demonstrates that having more friends often does equal a lot more fun than keeping everything to oneself.

I really want to like this book more, but I needed to flip back and forth to understand the critical dog / cat changeup in the beginning that sets the plot in motion. From there, I did not enjoy the continued broken toddler narrative. However, I liked the illustrations, the message, and the illustration on the page in which the protagonist makes a big realization. My book was not bilingual.

I think this is a really sharp take on the "Mine!" phase that toddlers and pre-schoolers experience. It's not just "it's nice to share," but more that it's really nice to play with other kids and sometimes you have to share to make that happen.

Great for learning some Spanish words/phrases, but I can’t say we enjoyed the story so much. Still a win for the Spanish!
