Description
"Big Panda and the forest animals have an unspoken agreement: what's his is his and what's theirs is theirs. And that's just the way they like it. So when newcomer Little Panda wonders through the forest with his kite, he's met with a refrain of "Mine!" from the animals as he stumbles into their games and pastimes, followed by a string of exasperated "Yours!" directed at Little Panda's kite. But when a gust of wind threatens the animals and their belongings, it's up to Big Panda to realize what exactly is "Ours." A sweet and funny story of sharing, friendship and belonging."--

Having young grandchildren, "Mine" is a word I hear a lot. This beautifully illustrated book uses only three words to get a message across, Mine, Yours and Ours. When Little Panda encroaches on Big Panda's home and food, he very directly points out mine and yours to him. While playing with his new

kite, Little Panda has issues controlling it and is told over and over "Mine" as he gets too close and disrupts others.

Mine. Yours. by Marsha Diane Arnold & Qin Leng is a book of few words, letting the artwork tell most of the story. Little Panda has wandered into Big Panda's den. After trying to get Little Panda to leave, Big Panda gives him a kite. Little Panda runs off to play with the kite. In the process, he
I read this with my cubs and we all enjoyed it! The art is just gorgeous! It's a simple story with a deep lesson on both boundaries- mine vs yours- and sharing- ours. I loved that the artist included a pangolin among the critters Little Panda meets! All of the animals are appropriate to the panda habitat, and others include fishing cat, raccoon dog (tanuki), and red panda. It prompted interest in these creatures, so we researched them afterwards! Recommended for preschool/kindergarten classrooms particularly!
