Mine’s the Best Audiobook Summary

A classic early reader that’s simple and funny–while also exploring the perennial childhood issue of competition

Whose is the best? Two boys. Two balloons. Each boy thinks his balloon is the best. What do you think?

Mine’s the Best is a My First I Can Read, which means it’s perfect for shared reading with a child. It “sparkles with the kind of obvious humor that young children love.”*

Mine’s the Best was written by Crosby Bonsall, who was one of the very first I Can Read authors. “Her characters are real children–children who interact with humor and charm, but also with a certain amount of temper, rivalry, and frustration so commonly found at the preschool age.”*

A wonderfully simply book that illustrates the sad reality of harmful competition quite well. The two boys in the story argue over which of their perfectly identical floaties is superior. Whenever my students are reading the Gospel of Mark, we detour and read this story (the sophomores love it!). In Mark, the disciples could be called the "duh-ciples," they aren't bright, and they completely miss what Jesus is teaching. At one point, in chapter 9, right after Jesus predicts his suffering and death, they get into an argument about who is the greatest. "I'm best disciple!" "No, I'm the best disciple!" I think this book illustrates exactly what Mark was going for back then.

Crosby Bonsall's writing is just delightful. I thought she was a man until I read this book, which she most definitely was not. This story about two boys with balloons trying to one-up each other is not my favorite of hers - The Case of the Hungry Stranger will always hold that position - but there is something charming about it. I am finding myself drawn to a lot of older books recently. It’s fascinating to me how children’s books have changed and not changed over time. I’d be really curious to know what kids think of this one, but haven’t had the chance to share it with any just yet.

This is a very funny I Can Read Book in which two boys argue over who has the best snake balloon, each destroying his balloon in the process. When a nerdy girl walks by with an intact balloon, the boys make nice and agree that their balloons were both better than hers. A great boy book.
