That's Mine! / Eso es mio! Sumana Seeboruth

When one toddler in a childcare setting takes all the toy animals for herself, she discovers that monopolising all the toys can be a bit lonely. Will offering one of the animals to another child help bridge the gap? In this gentle exploration of early friendship, toddlers will recognise the tension between wanting everything to be "mine!" and the desire to connect with other children.
