It’s Mine!

　　小島上的三隻小青蛙每天都互不相讓地爭著：『這是我的！』『天空是我的！』『地是我的！』『河流是我的！』儘管附近的智者蟾蜍先生規勸他們不要再爭了，但絲毫起不了任何作用。有一天下起了大雷雨，洪水淹沒了小島，小青蛙們各自蜷曲在湖中的石頭上，水慢慢的高漲，三隻小青蛙最後選擇緊緊地合抱住唯一的一顆大石頭，這時，小青蛙們恍然大悟，原來一起面對危險，一起互相鼓勵面對恐懼是一種奇妙的感覺。在這場大雨中，小青蛙們學會了?分享。

Four time Caldecott Honor winner Leo Lionni''s beloved tale about three young frogs learning to work together.

Three selfish frogs live together on an island in the middle of Rainbow Pond. All day long they bicker: It''s mine It''s mine It''s mine But a bad storm and a big brown toad help them realize that sharing is much more fun. With characteristic clarity, simplicity and exuberance, Leo Lionni makes it possible for kids to see themselves through the antics of others who share our world.

Leo Lionni, an internationally known designer, illustrator, and graphic artist, was born in Holland and lived in Italy until he came to the United States in 1939. He was the recipient of the 1984 American Institute of Graphic Arts Gold Medal and was honored posthumously in 2007 with the Society of Illustrators’ Lifetime Achievement Award. His picture books are distinguished by their enduring moral themes, graphic simplicity and brilliant use of collage, and include four Caldecott Honor Books: Inch by Inch, Frederick, Swimmy, and Alexander and the Wind-Up Mouse. Hailed as ＂a master of the simple fable＂ by the Chicago Tribune, he died in 1999 at the age of 89.
