Sonny Says, Mine! ISBN: 9781526607393
Hart, Caryl and Ohora, Zachariah
Published by Bloomsbury Children's, 2021
When Sonny finds a small toy bunny in a sand pit in the park, he falls in love and decides to keep it, but when Meemo, a dog appears and shows interest, Sonny shouts, 'Mine!' and snatches it away. He plays happily with his new toy until Honey and Boo come along. Boo is crying, and Honey explains that she has lost her toy bunny called Suki and this makes her very sad. Sonny lies when they ask him if he has seen Suki, and is determined to keep the toy himself, but Meemo knows better and when the girls leave to search some more, he tries to pull it away from Sonny - who isn't having it. 'Mine!' he shouts again. Meemo has become Sonny's conscience, and he tries bribary with the girls - a chocolate cake and playing a game of pirates, but Boo continues very sad, and Sonny finally does the right thing and hands over Suki. Everyone is happy then, and they congratulate Sonny that he has finally admitted he was wrong. About time too! All the characters are little animals. The bright pictures are fun imaginative.
