Booklist - 10/15/2024 A story full of conflict, problem-solving, and rhyme, This Rock Is Mine follows two frogs trying to spend a relaxing day on the titular rock that each believes is his own private property. Their blustery banter, each trying to prove they have the truer claim to the rock, is interrupted by a large bird that needs no words to claim the rock as its own. Suddenly united by their eviction, the two frogs realize that collaboration can lead to companionship. The illustrations, with their jewel-tone color palette, make the frogs' simple marsh home seem magical, and thus the stakes of claiming the rock seem higher. Young readers will be drawn in by the familiar push and pull of being asked to split something and fighting the request, but by the final page they'll get to see just how lovely things can turn out when you finally decide to share. - Copyright 2024 Booklist.
