Bookroo's summary
In a lively schoolyard, the Mine-o-saur hoards toys and snacks, shouting 'MINE!' as he isolates himself from his dinosaur peers. Can he learn that sharing is the key to friendship, or will he remain alone? Discover the heartwarming journey of a dinosaur who must choose between his possessions and the joy of companionship.
From the publisher
A group of dinosaurs is happily playing in the school yard when . . . oh no! Here comes the Mine-o-saur! He snatches all the toys. He grabs all the snacks at snack time. He hoards the blocks during recess. And all the while he yells, “MINE, MINE, MINE!” But soon enough, no one wants to play with him. What will it take for the Mine-o-saur to realize that what he really wants are friends? And then, will the other dinosaurs ever welcome him back? Dinosaurs are always a popular subject with young readers, and with its subtle lesson of sharing, The Mine-O-Saur is also a delicious twist on a classroom comedy. David Clark’s uproarious triceratops and stegosauruses will tickle the funny bone of readers young and old.
