Oh, I love this question because it takes me back to my days as a babysitter! Stingy from 'LazyTown' is such a memorable character, and 'It's Mine' is one of his standout episodes. It's not part of a book series, though—it's just a single TV episode. But the way Stingy clings to his stuff like a dragon hoarding treasure is so funny and endearing. The show does have a ton of episodes, so if you're craving more Stingy content, you're in luck. 'LazyTown' itself feels like a series because of how episodic it is, but 'It's Mine' stands alone perfectly. Side note: if you enjoy characters with big personalities like Stingy, you might adore 'Junie B. Jones' or 'Horrid Henry'—they’ve got that same chaotic energy.
Not a book series, but 'It's Mine' is a standout 'LazyTown' episode where Stingy lives up to his name. The show’s episodic nature means you can jump in anywhere, but this one’s especially memorable. If you like the humor, 'Pig the Pug' books have a similar selfish-but-hilarious vibe. Stingy would definitely approve of Pig’s antics—until he had to share, of course.
Nope, 'Stingy - It's Mine' isn't from a book series—it's an episode of 'LazyTown,' that colorful Icelandic kids' show that somehow became a global hit. Stingy’s obsession with keeping everything for himself makes the episode super entertaining, especially for little ones learning about sharing. The show has a bunch of episodes, but this one’s a standalone gem. If you’re after book recs with similar vibes, try '
the berenstain bears and the Gimmies.'
Stingy - It's Mine is actually one of those titles that can be a bit confusing at first glance because it sounds like it could belong to a series, but it's actually a standalone episode from the beloved children's show 'LazyTown.' I remember stumbling upon it while browsing through kids' content with my niece, and we both ended up laughing at Stingy's antics. The episode revolves around his hilarious refusal to share anything, which is such a relatable theme for kids (and let's be honest, some adults too).
While 'LazyTown' has multiple episodes featuring Stingy, 'It's Mine' isn't part of a book series or a larger literary universe. It's purely a TV episode, though the character's personality is so vivid that it feels like he could star in his own book series. If you're looking for something similar in book form, maybe check out 'The Greedy Python' or 'The Mine-O-Saur'—they have that same playful greediness but in a literary format.
Stingy’s 'It's Mine' episode is such a classic! It’s from 'LazyTown,' the show with the weirdly catchy songs and neon-colored characters. While it’s not part of a book series, the episode’s theme of selfishness vs. sharing is something you see in a lot of children’s books. I’d compare it to 'Llama Llama Time to Share' or even 'Should I Share My Ice Cream?' by Mo Willems—both have that same playful tension about ownership. 'LazyTown' episodes are quick and fun, but if you want more depth, those books are great next steps. Stingy’s character would totally fit in a picture book, though; someone should make that happen!
