Just like the first book this is also very funny. Now they argue about to whom the chair belongs to.
Simple and fast read but filled with action and great illustrations. ( )

Toddler loooooved this one. A large-ish creature (bear?) and smallish purple creature fight over a chair: It's mine, I was sitting there before! It's mine, I'm sitting here now! Eventually they both fall down, apologize, get up and go off to play together...whereupon another creature comes and sits on the chair ("Mine").

Kids will recognize the familiar conflict, and hopefully like the resolution. Bright illustrations with bold outline on a white background really pop. ( )

Great read

This is a simple-to-read, funny story. In this particular book the pictures carry most of the weight and they are delightful. Children will laugh out loud and so will the adult as they experience this all-too-common struggle of it's mine! ( )

The two creatures who first appeared in Anna Kang and Christopher Weyant's You Are (Not) Small, where they argued about their relative sizes, return in this follow-up, once again coming into conflict. This time the dispute centers around the ownership of one very comfortable chair, and the two contestants show that they are willing to resort to all manner of underhanded measures to get their own way. Fortunately, after a particularly nasty tussle, they come to their senses...

Like its predecessor, That's (Not) Mine pairs an amusing tale with cute artwork. The text is quite simple, with no more than a few words per page, and consists entirely of dialogue and sound-words, making this an excellent selection for younger children. The message of learning to share is delivered through the story, and does not overwhelm the fun of seeing two very willful creatures go at it. Recommended to anyone looking for entertaining tales for the toddler set, particularly if they want those tales to address issues of sharing, friendship and good behavior. ( )

Two fuzzy creatures (bears?) argue over who should get to sit in a chair. The words are simple and the illustrations demonstrate most of the story. Everyone can relate to feeling entitled to something that someone else has; this book helps us think more deeply about that it means when something is "mine." ( )
