Rating:  Summary: Great read for kids with a great message Review: this book is absolutely wonderful. the story is cute, funny, and flows nicely. the illustrations are a story unto themselves as well. this book provides quality time with your child, as you can take hours looking at the pictures and talking and laughing about them. i love this book, and would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone with children. great as a gift, too!
Rating:  Summary: Take a second look Review: This is a fun book that teaches little kids self-esteem and by implication cautions parents when not to criticize their children. The book ends with a nice question that draws the child being read to into a good conversation about himself or herself. The illustrations are a riot.

Rating:  Summary: adorable self-esteem booster Review: Today's children receive so many confusing messages from their peers,society and media that it is crucial for parents to introduce children to positive self-esteem boosting messages."I'm Gonna Like Me" is a must have for every child's library. I also recommend "The Affirmation Web" and "Indigo Dreams audio book/CD."
These are all powerful tools in helping children develop a confident, believe in themselves attitude. Motivational speakers and great athletes have been using these techniques for years. Now it's time to let the kids in on their secret!
Rating:  Summary: Take a second look Review: While this book follows in the successful footsteps of the other Jamie Lee Curtis/Laura Cornell books, I urge readers to take a second look, and look specifically at the pictures. The words are fine and give us an important message, but the visual message is equally, if not, more important. Children are visual learners. We want to raise successful, confident children of both sexes, so why does Cornell have to give us the boy as a firefighter and a girl as a nurse? My absolute unfavorite is where the children are given medals of honesty and as a best friend, while surrounded by adults wearing their medals. The males are wearing medals of bravery, intelligence, politeness, suaveness, and impatience. The women are wearing medals of adult cute, svelte, and pear-shaped! Come on, where's the gender equity, Jamie?
