Mine! by Candace Fleming


You know what they say about the best laid plans. Don't count your chicks before they hatch. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Mouse, Hare, Fox, Deer, and Bear all want the one apple in the tree. Who will end up with the apple? 

Thoughts: So much to love in this book! The language, the illustrations, the surprise ending... I can't wait to use this book in storytime. It reminds me a little of Lousy Rotten Stinkin' Grapes by Margie Palatini. I think it would pair well with The Bear Who Shared by Catherine Rayner.

Themes: Forest Animals, Apples, Fruit, Sharing 

(Illustrated by Eric Rohmann. Anne Schwartz Books, 2023.)
