Reviews

Rhyming text and funny illustrations add to the enjoyment of this book about self-worth and self-esteem. * Irish Examiner *
This is a great book to read aloud and share, and humorous illustrations make it a book that can be read and enjoyed time and time again with lots of laughs. * Armadillo Magazine *
The humour in this book is super and very appealing, as are the rhyming couplets. Lots of the action is in the illustrations - comic pictures of children with expressive faces. The theme of being able to accept your body as it is remains current and important, as is the need for friends who are willing to help: We play games and laugh for the rest of the day Im small and shes tall and were perfect that way. Good fun! * Books For Keeps *
