(4) K-3 Illustrated by Iris Wolfermann. Matthew tries on different names--each one associated with another boy he admires in some way--until he decides that people like him just as he is. This is an affable story with childlike sentiments at its heart. Although the resolution is a bit tidy, both narration and the art, with its loose crayonlike outlines and thick blocks of color, are approachable.
Reviewer: Maeve Visser Knoth
