Mine! by Jeff Mack – Our Review
What I Thought
This was a fun book that had a theme on sharing.
Mack has a way of using very few words to tell a story – in “Mine!”, he only uses the title word with varying repetition and punctuation to create the story.
His illustrations are also very light-hearted, and read like a comic. Mack has a way of writing a wacky story that kids will enjoy reading.
