That Fruit is Mine! by Auska Allepuz

 This is such a delightful book. There are 5 elephants who love to eat fruit. Each eats a different kind of fruit. One day they discover a fruit that they all want. Try as they might, they can not get the fruit for themselves. It is too high up in the tree.

In the meantime, five little mice are working together to get the fruit to share. They elephants finally notice the mice once they has successfully taken the fruit off the tree.

This act of teamwork inspires the elephants to work together so they can share and enjoy the fruit, too.

This is an excellent book about teamwork versus selfishness.
