On each page there's something new to complete, from "I weigh ___ pounds" to "My teeth. I counted them. I have ___ up top. I have ___ downstairs." It's a simple idea, but with a surprising amount of educational value--getting children to name their home country, to recognize and draw in the color of their own eyes, learn their telephone number and address, to name favorite clothes, foods, and colors, and more. Finally, there's a two-page spread where each owner of the book can write his or her own story. Illustrator Roy McKie's style is halfway between the P.D. Eastman of Are You My Mother and the mainstream Seuss of Cat in the Hat and Thidwick: The Big-Hearted Moose. (Ages 4 to 8) --Richard Farr Product Description: Illus. in full color. Encourages children to find out about themselves, while having fun writing and drawing their own biographies. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Great Fun!We LOVE this book! It was a Christmas gift for my 6-year old son and he spent half the day working on it after opening his gifts, nearly finishing it. It basically is a fill-in-the-blank type book and the child answers questions on each page pertaining to themselves. My only complaint is that it isn't long enough! My son kept very busy counting forks, windows and steps in our house and is now working on collecting autographs. I think it will be a lot of fun to look back on someday and I had this ...

(soon we think... but she might be 6 first!) It is fun and a great book to keep around to read later. We also bought one for a friend recently who was in the hospital for 6 mos 1200 miles away from most of the family for a bone marrow transplant (only mom moved with her for this period), it was great for her to be able to give a task to a brother ...

My mom saved them and it was so fun to go through when she brought them out! The book is great. It allows kids to draw a picture, write a story and answer questions about themselves. Even if they aren't reading yet it's something parents and kids can work on together. Somethings are a little harder to figure out (# of steps to closest store) but it really ...

It's their book, to write the answers in (in fact the first thing is to have the kid write his name in it!), to read and figure out, etc. Highly recommended both for the parent/grandparent - and, more importantly, for the kid. Rating: - Dr. Seuss at it's bestMy Book About Me This book is great! My young reader loves the interactiveness of being able to count all the steps in the house, find out the color of his eyes and tell all the things about his life at this moment. I'm thinking about adding some scrapbook pages for each year for some of the questions that will change over time. The best part is, I can show him My Book About Me that I completed in the 1970's.
