My Name Is Elizabeth!

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Matthew Forsythe. Elizabeth, who could be a poster child for self-esteem, vents about her irritation at friends, family members, and neighbors for shortening her name ("Yo, Liz, what's up?!"; "Hi, Beth!"). This artless slip of a book is note-perfect to the end. Forsythe's pictures--black and white with some orange-y red and powder blue--are retro-style but nevertheless his own.
