Me And You Bb

An adorable exploration of friendship and childhood activities There are many things that I like about being me. I can sit quite still . . . or hop, skip and jump. I can stand on my hands . . . or turn somersaults. I can float on my back . . . or swim like a fish . . . This delightful picture book is a series of reflections that the narrator, an endearing cloth rabbit, makes about himself and the things he can do. The brief text culminates with the ultimate reflection that the thing he likes best about being himself is that he can share his favorite activities with his friend, an equally endearing white mouse. The expressive illustrations complement the pared-back text with a subtle visual narrative. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition. Editorial Reviews From School Library Journal PreSchool-K--Holmes's text and Rossell's art are as perfect a match as their starring characters. Rabbit explains the "many things that I like about being me" as the expressive pair engage in fun activities like somersaults, swimming, slope rolling, and climbing trees. The short sentences with active verbs keep the striped-sweatered pals busy until Rabbit announces that the best thing is "I can be with you," and the buddies halt for a hug. Rossell's clean landscapes mirror the simple text, but she tickles viewers with whimsical touches like the hide-and-seek that ensues when Mouse rises with a balloon bouquet. It's a pleasure to join this celebration of friendship and playing outdoors.--Gay Lynn Van Vleck, Henrico County Library, Glen Allen, VA END --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
