Cute book for children. It supports the ideals and importance of being yourself. Quirky illustrations to go along with some of the quirky vocabulary. Pages are bright with bold wording and pictures. I would recommend this book for 2nd-3rd grade. ( )

Every child is a marvel, a unique and irreplaceable gift to the world but, down deep, not every child believes it. It's up to us parents, teachers and grandparents o let our children know that they are loved and treasured just as they are. That's what makes I Love Monkey such a special book. Throughout the book Monkey tries to be something special a squirrel, a bunny, a grasshopper, a fish. But Monkey finally realizes that the most special thing of all is to just be yourself no one in the whole wide world can ever do that better than you. -- GoodReads
