Illustrated by
David Catrow.
In the vein of Kathi Appelt's Incredible Me! and Jamie Lee Curtis's picture books, this is a celebration of the self--as expressed, in this case, by an exuberant girl. Some of the rhymes are obvious, but Catrow deftly interprets the more original ones ("I'd still like me with fleas or warts, / or with a silly snout that snorts") in his surreal illustrations.
