A: That's my pencil case and my pen and pencil.
B. Oh! That's my rubber and ruler.
Why is it not “they are” as there are two objects?
I found the example in Junior New Concept English for Starters, published by Pearson Longman.

I think the reason it's confusing is because a certain key phrase, that is definitely and clearly implied, is omitted for brevity:
"That's my rubber and [that's my] ruler."
The sentence applies the singular linking verb "is" in two separate cases using two separate singular subject complements.
