My six yr old thoughly enjoyed this book. Was thrilled to receive it on his 6th birthday.

There are at least three "I Am Six" books by various authors, but apparently none of them are exceedingly good as none are available from Amazon except by resellers.

If this book, by Ann Morris and Nancy Sheehan (photographer), is any indication, it is not that the books are 'wretched', just that they are not interesting enough to purchase.

In this book, the central theme was children at school. They were shown together as a class, with and without their teacher, in circle time, with their snake, hamster and mouse, reading, counting, writing, and painting. Basically doing what small children do in school. The photos are nice and accented by hand prints of the children in paint.

Three Stars. I borrowed this book at the library at the beginning of this school year to show to my entering kindergartner. Both she and her brother thought it was okay and sat through more than one reading, BUT... I wouldn't recommend buying it. Borrow yes, buy no. Just not enough to hold a child's interest over more than a week.

Note: if you are looking for a book about how big 'kids' were once little babies, we liked "Now I'm Big" by Margaret Miller.
