From School Library Journal-
The effervescent, entertaining cartoons, done in oils, perfectly complement the
narrative. Together, the words and pictures create a powerful package that conveys a sense
of appreciation for all living things.
Heres to the birds
and the bears and the bugs! Heres to the weird and wacky, the cute and creepy! From
toothy fish to get-you-when-youre-sleeping cats to lick-lick-lick-lick-lick-lick
dogs, every creature is unique and lovable especially you!
The infectious joy of
David Elliotts wonderful read-aloud poem and Randy Cecils brilliant
illustrations is sure to have children reciting along, celebrating the worlds
infinite diversity and feeling pretty happy with their place in it, too.
Highly
recommended, especially as a starting point for discussions about self confidence,
personal empowerment and world diversity.
