Alina reviewed her own copy of this book.

Do you like rhyming books? Then I think you should read I Like Myself because it teaches you to like yourself. In this story it talks, talks, talks about yourself. In this story it talks about your hands, ears and your eyes and your legs and arms and head and more.

One reason I like this book is because it makes you love yourself more than you already do. The second reason I like this book is because the girl is nice. The third reason I like this book is because the pictures are pretty and the girl is cute and she has a dog. In the story it says “I like myself because I am me.”

I recommend this book for ages 8, 9, and 10. Find this book at your local library. Out of 10 stars, I give it an 8.
