PS
When two brothers receive a toy dinosaur from Granny in the mail, they struggle over ownership until the toy rips. Mother repairs it, and the boys learn to share. The nearly wordless tale drives home its point somewhat didactically, but the oil paintings effectively capture the boys' passion for the toy and sorrow over its destruction.
