Week 3 Personal Readings

'I'm the Best' written and illustrated by Lucy Cousins is a picture book about a small dog.
Dog decides to go around to his friends ladybird, gode, mole and donkey and boast about his superority and well.... everything!  As Dog gets too big for his boots, Dog finds that his so-called superiority is eventually challenged by his friends.

His friends become saddened by all the things he can do better, but Mole realises that he can dig deeper and the others come to understand that they have qualities Dog does not. Dog comes back to reality and becomes quite depressed over the fact that he isn't the best at everything and apologises to his friends.  All Dog's friends get together and give him a big hug and tell him he is the best at being their best friend and having beautiful fluffy ears!




I kissed the Baby! is written and illustrated by Mary Murphy (Judge of  So you Can Think You Can Dance America).  This picture book firstly captured my attention with its bold, graphic black and white illustrations.   News of a new born baby is passed from animal to aminal, each animal- bird, fish, squirrel, frog and insect is boasting of seeing, singing, kissing, feeding or tickling the new born baby.  Its a very simple and sweet picture book which captures the excitement that a new born baby can bring.
