Inhaltsangabe

In Just Being Me books, bestselling author Robie H. Harris and syndicated cartoonist Nicole Hollander offer a first-person child+s-eye view of a family making its way through every child+s daily ups and downs, need for love and attention, and determined push for independence. In I LOVE Messes!, an inquisitive young child+s eager exploration makes a giant, mixed-up, mushy mess; and in I+m ALL Dressed!, a boy wants to get dressed his way-but his way is completely different from Mommy+s and Daddy+s idea of -the right way+! Full of warmth and good humor, here are two more emotionally honest portrayals of growing-up and parenting experiences, at the great low price of $7.99. Each book includes an afterword from renowned child psychologist Linda C. Mayes, MD, author of The Yale Child Study Center Guide to Understanding Your Child.

Rezensionen

PreS. This small, brightly illustrated book in the Just Being Me series, by the author of the classic It's Perfectly Normal (1994) and the Growing Up Stories series on child development, portrays a behavioral flashpoint from a child's first-person perspective. A note addressed to parents explains how each fictional scenario reflects an important developmental stage and discusses how parents might balance "enjoyment of their child's individuality . . . with the necessities of daily life." In the story, a boy of color strips off his winter wardrobe and reapplies it by himself, resulting in a topsy-turvy outfit that he proudly wears outside (with his flexible parents'permission). Although some adults may fear the willful, experimental acts depicted will be understood by children as carte blanche to act out, many others will appreciate the clear voice of reason ringing through the stories'humor and chaos--while children will simply exult in the silly fun modeled on the pages.
