(4) K-3 Illustrated by Laura Cornell. "I'm gonna like me when I'm sharing my lunch / 'cause just like bananas friends come in a bunch." In alternating voices, a young boy and girl proclaim that each likes him or herself when "I do the right thing" and when "I make a mistake." The rhyming text bounces along offering plenty of platitudes. The lively illustrations, while hectic, add substance to the self-esteem-boosting one-note premise.
