BOY, YOU’RE AMAZING!
by Virginia Kroll & illustrated by Sachiko Yoshikawa
"Boy, you're amazing, the things you can do!" Boys can ride bikes and play cards; they can stay calm when baby is scared of a storm. They can invent things, be gracious losers, and become great friends. In short, boys are as amazing as girls were when Kroll extolled their virtues and potential in Girl, You're Amazing! (2001). The rhyming text here is just as sure, silly, and serious. What's best is that the heralded feats are mostly ordinary, everyday accomplishments that everyone can identify with. Yoshikawa's bold and colorful illustrations bring a cast of multicultural, energetic boys to life. A great gift for any young boy, this would also make an excellent addition to any storytime library.
