I'm Gonna Like Me

I’m Gonna Like Me by Jamie Lee Curtis and Laura Cornell is another one of those “I love me, I feel good” books, but hey, we could never use enough of those. I thought the book was adorable with awesome illustrations-one of the most colorful books I have ever read. Each page has a different paragraph starting with “I’m gonna like me when….” and then the rest of the paragraph rhymes at the end of each stanza. Since each page is predictable and rhymes, I think it would be a great book to work with lower elementary students that are just learning how to read. In addition, it also sends good messages to children including: returning something when found, sharing your lunch, not getting down on yourself when you are wrong or make a mistake, and much much more.
