Incredible You

Everyone has occasional bad days, days when we wish we were someone else, and the little boy in this picture book thinks he might like to be some sort of animal when such days come along. We see his dreams of all the exotic animals he could be and all the things he could do if he were one. But then, hold on, what about him? What can he do? There follows a cornucopia of possibilities. He can use all his five senses, he can ‘do funny voices’ that make his friends laugh, he can run and dance and read and invent ways of doing things. He can play football with his feet and draw with his hands, and at the end of a busy day, he can sleep. Life is full of possibilities, and the most important thing is always to remember to be unique, ‘incredible you’. The pictures are ‘incredible’ too – full of life and dozens of little characters, integrated text, and lots and lots of colour; they will provide hours of looking and enjoying and lots of discussion too. A really superb picture book.
