I See Me! (Growing Tree) - Hardcover

Pegi Deitz Shea is the author of many picture books and middle-grade nonfiction for children, including New Moon, The Whispering Cloth, and I See Me! She lives in Rockville, Connecticut.

Lucia Washburn has illustrated more than a dozen books for children. Her Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science books include Dinosaur Tracks, Dinosaurs Big and Small, and Did Dinosaurs Have Feathers?, which has illustrations that "provide vivid visualizations of long-ago landscapes" (School Library Journal). Her other books include Look to the North by Jean Craighead George, a 1997 Parents' Choice Gold Award winner praised as "a fine addition to science collections" (ALA Booklist). When she travels, she and her family enjoy visiting the local museums to see their dinosaur collections. Being the mother of two children, she has a special fondness for Maiasaura. She lives in California with her family.

From the Growing Tree series, this lively board book shows a toddler who finds her reflection all around her: in a mirror, on the back of a silver spoon, on the television screen, and in her mother's sunglasses. Each double-page spread offers another view of the little child playing at home, a good subject for the many young children who like to see recognizable objects, surroundings, and people in their picture books. The short text features several sounds for the readers to make, in rhyming lines such as "baby in the pots 'n' pans, crash, crash, crash! / Baby in the tub, faucet splash, splash, splash!" An appealing picture book for the youngest. Carolyn Phelan
