I Want to Be Somebody New!

Ratings4

Average rating4.3

Spot, the chameleon-like leopard star of Put Me in the Zoo, is through with life in the zoo. And with changing his spots, too. Now he’s into changing his shape, and he wants to be somebody new! But as Spot soon discovers, it’s not easy being as big as an elephant or as tall as a giraffe or as small as a mouse. In fact, sometimes it’s easiest just being yourself, as he— and young readers—learn in this cheerful, rhyming Beginner Book about self-acceptance.

Put Me in the Zoo and I Want to Be Somebody New! seem to be this boy's new favorites. He takes the idea of preschool books on repeat very seriously. I enjoyed the rhythm and rhymes of this one. The sequence and repetition in phrasing was equally good for my budding reader to participate and listen in, even if I was reading for her little brother.

We own this one in a red book treasury.
