Prelutsky, Jack

Me I Am!

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Christine Davenier. "I am the only me I am / who qualifies as me..." Prelutsky's paean to individuality (originally published in a 1983 anthology) is repeated three times, each instance describing a different child. Davenier's energetic illustrations celebrate the kids' distinctly different interests (rollerskating, examining bugs, dancing). The poem itself, though expressing laudable sentiments, verges on trite and is not Prelutsky's strongest.
