Description
JoJo wants Ava’s carrot. JoJo grabs one end of the carrot.
Ava holds tight to the other end. They both shriek!
Here comes the teacher to help.
“I see you both want that carrot. But Ava’s not done yet. JoJo, here’s the asparagus—let’s make a stew with Ava.”
JoJo does not want to make stew. She still wants the carrot.
“Ava, tell JoJo, ‘You can have it when I’m done,’” the teacher says.
Ava says, “When I done!”
All Mine! is about toddlers’ need to feel ownership, so they can better navigate this tricky time in their development when everything is “All Mine!” Includes a Note to Parents and Caregivers written by the authors about supporting toddlers’ needs for ownership.
Written with simple language and reflective of children’s realities, the Terrific Toddlers series is based on understanding of the developmental level of young toddlers. Titles include All Mine!, Boo-Boo!, and Bye-Bye!.
From the Note to Parents and Caregivers:
“Sharing” is simply not a concept that a young toddler can grasp...yet. It may seem counterintuitive, but in fact, encouraging full ownership, as the teacher does for JoJo in All Mine!, can actually hasten the development of generosity, since allowing the toddler to fully be in this phase of development hastens her mastery of the lessons about self that it provides.
It is not until at least age three—when young children are developmentally ready to want acceptance from peers and have a firm understanding of the concept of self—that they can begin to want to share.

Brilliant! I always thought very young children were selfish for a reason, but only having had one, had nothing more to go on. Child care workers who work with the 1-3 years old and anyone who has a child in this age range really must use read this book! Very useful in understanding early childhood development. Loved the story and am sure small ones will, too! The illustrations were precious!

This picture book is about a diverse group of toddlers who are learning to share with each other. It is affiliated with the American Psychological Association. The wee ones are at the developmental stage where it's all about them and in no certain terms they make it known that sharing is not part of their makeup at this particular time in their life.
These toddlers want to battle it out over the clothes to wear from the dress-up corner, the food to choose in the play kitchen, and the crayons to use at the art table just to name a few. Luckily a patient and caring teacher intervenes each time and helps the children make an appropriate choice and eases their dilemma by giving them alternatives to play with. She helps instill in the toddlers respect for one another and she gently teaches them that they must wait their turn to get what they want rather than just taking it and causing hurt feelings to others.
The repetition in the book will reinforce these ideas and also remind adults that through patience and care the concept of sharing can be obtained.
At the end of the book is included a Note to Parents and Caregivers written by the authors about supporting toddlers' needs for ownership.

I really like these books! They teach both parents and kids how to deal with hard situations. The pictures are simple and relatable, the tips for parents and caregivers in the back are an added bonus. This would be a great gift for grandparents or new parents!

This read-aloud/picture book is published under the auspices of the American Psychological Association. It is cheerfully illustrated with a diverse group of toddlers who do not want to share. A calm and lovely teacher repeatedly intervenes to help by respecting the child who does not feel ready to part with something and by offering the other child an alternative. The repetition will be helpful for young readers and will remind parents of the need for patience when coping with young children. At the end of the book, there is a VERY helpful guide for parents. Believe it or not, there is even a little spoiler there that you will discover for yourself. Highly recommended for toddlers and their caregivers.
