I
Only Like What I Like
By Words
and Pictures by Julie Baer
A Gentle Lesson
A Little Boy Who Only Likes What He
Likes
Learns to Like Much More
Julie Baer
is an original illustrator but she also knows children.
I Only
Like What I Like is both gentle and humorous. Even small children
will be amused and understand-oh, so gently-that being too adamant
about one's likes might eliminate much that is good in life, might
paint you into a corner that can't be exited all that gracefully.
I also
like that the illustrations allow a parent and child to talk about
artistic expression. Does the little boy-one Dewey Jackson Braintree-Berg-look
like a real child? Yes
and no.
How
do you suppose this picture was made? Paint? What is a collage?
Look at the colors! How did the artist use shapes?
In
short, this book written and illustrated by Julie Baer, is a winner!
You and your child will enjoy chuckling over it for many evenings
to come!
