PSHarper Growing Tree series.
Illustrated by
Nicole Rubel.
In this rhyming verse, a little girl recounts how her various features are like those of members of her family--she's got Dad's feet, Mom's hair, and Gramps's eyes--but they all add up to one unique person. "Completely, uniquely, definitely, specially, the one and only ME!" The message is one youngsters will identify with, but the unrelenting rhythm of the text and stiff cartoon illustrations make this a less than stellar effort.
