I Want It!

A girl wants to play with her brother's toys – and she won't give up!
From two-time Theodor Seuss Geisel Honoree Paul Meisel, this story is perfect for kindergarteners and first graders to read on their own.

I want it!
Mine!

A boy is contentedly playing with his superheroes, cars, and blocks when he notices that his sister has taken his dragon. He wants it back! Now!

Brother and sister struggle with strong emotions, dramatically illustrated—from possessiveness to frustration to anger. But empathy and compassion win out in the end. And we can read the joy on the children's faces.

The books in the award-winning I Like to Read® series build vocabulary and promote fluency, which are essential for reading success. Acclaimed author-illustrators—including winners of Caldecott, Theodor Seuss Geisel, and Coretta Scott King honors—create original, high-quality books that are fun for kids to read again and again with their parents, teachers or on their own!
