Review
Lively, rhyming text rolls through animals at the zoo and how each perfect just the way he/she is. "I'm a warty warthog! Can't be who I'm not. I am who I am, and I've got what I've got. I have tusks! I have warts! But I like what I see! In my own special way, I'm as cute as can be."
Illustrations of each animal fill the page with color and details that emphasize the rhyme. The text and illustrations work extremely together and would make a great read aloud for a theme on animals or accepting differences.
