      Synopsis

      "When I was little, I could hardly do anything. But now I can do lots of things, like braid my own hair and go to nmusery school. I'm not a baby anymore. I'm me!"
      Jamie Lee Curtis and Laura Cornell perfectly capture a little girl's simple, childlike celebration of herself, as she looks back on her childhood from the lofty height of four and a half years. This spirited view of growing up is perfect for the youngest readers.

      Annotation

      A four-year-old describes how she has changed since she was a baby.

      Los Angeles Times Book Review

      Her rollicking enthusiasm is infectious, especially in the joyous, chaotic, colorful watercolors

      October 26, 2009: Can't say enough good things about this book and others by Jamie Lee Curtis. I've purchased nearly all of her books for my grandchildren. The stories are clever and insightful and the illustrations are awesome in each book. Reading them with the children is just pure fun!

      I highly recommend "Is there Really a Human Race" -- wonderful story with a moral. I used it with an adult audience too.

      July 09, 2002: I bought this book for my 4 year old and we both love it. It is fun to read and she likes reading about how she used to be a baby, but now she is a big kid! The text is fantastic and the pictures are so funny! It is one of the books we always pull off the shelf.
