PreS-K–Farm animals loudly insist that the farm belongs to them and them alone, before realizing their home belongs to all. This is a comedic debate for this age group, and it’s all neatly dramatized by peek-ahead panels. Given the ever-growing number of easy-to-read speech bubbles in books for young readers, school-age siblings can lead eventful read-alouds featuring different voices for fun.

VERDICT A familiar argument of “Mine!” comes to a stunning conclusion, with giggles on the way.
