A hilariously funny, read-aloud story with cut-through reveals, from an internationally celebrated author-illustrator.

Once there was a mysterious thing. Nobody knew how it got there, it just was. “It’s mine, all MINE!” say Mouse, Frog, Fox and Bear. But is it a piece of fruit, a wheel, a ball, a chair or something else altogether? And who will get to keep it in the end?

It’s Mine is an amusing tale featuring Mouse, Frog, Fox, Bear, and an egg. Whilst out walking Mouse sees a large egg and declares that it must be fruit and that it is his, and so he takes it home. That is until Frog sees it and decides he needs it as it would make the perfect wheel.

Next comes along Fox and then Bear all having different reasons for wanting the egg and all declaring that it is theirs. That is until something happens to it, then none of them want it!

The story is a lot of fun and quite humorous. I can see little children giggling away at the animals, plus the cut our sections give the reader an added extra to enjoy.

With adorable, bright, colourful illustrations throughout and a golly good plot, this is a fantastic book that I can see being a great source of entertainment for young readers.
