I chose
this book because of the title. I really like for people to act like themselves
and not like someone they are not. This is a book that contains twenty-one
poems. The poems in the book are all about things that a kid can do such as
whistling, somersaults, and what they want to be when they grow up. Children can do many things. It also talks
about the child being themselves and being happy about that.
There are not
very many illustrations in this book. Most of them are just very small simple picture
in one corner of the page. There is a good bit of white or blank space on each
page. The pictures look to have been hand drawn with pencil. They are all black
and white except the ones on the front and back cover.
This book
is appropriate for young children of all ages. One way to use this book in a
classroom is to encourage kids to use their imaginations. The poems talk about
different things kids can become and do in their life. Also this book can be
used when talking about rhyming words. Children could also be encouraged to
write their own poem. This book has not won any awards.
