![]() Should we (librarians/readers) put this on the top of our “to read” piles? No Who should buy this book? A nursery school or public library that collects multiple SEL books To whom would you recommend this book? Those who read and enjoy or use the “you must like yourself” books I would keep it in the top 50% of my SEL books – not the top of the pile, but the top 50%.Īnything you didn’t like about it? There’s many more out there just like it. It is a way to convey to kids that everyone has a place in the world and frankly, any book with a sasquatch in it has redeeming value. I was ready to toss it on the pile of all the other “you’re so unique and special” books when I took another look. ![]() ![]() The general premise is that the narrator, breaking the third wall, asks the reader about certain traits they might have: “Are you usually gentle and kind, sometimes need quiet time and have a horn in the center of your forehead? Ok, then you’re not a unicorn.” By the third repeat of this call and response, and having gone through a unicorn, a dragon and a fairy I kinda’ felt like I got it and I had because, of course, at the end we all find out that we are uniquely special and likeable and there’s only one us. What did you like about the book? This is a bright, colorful, wacky picture book all about finding a way to like yourself. Rating: 1-5 (5 is an excellent or a Starred review) 3 ![]()
