Love this book!!-- every page has something to play with -- a flap to lift or a tag to pull or curly hair to feel or a mirror to look in. For example, there's a kid playing a string bass, and when you lift the flap you see that he's actually quite short & standing on a large box. There are kids who are short, tall, twins, with braces, with a unibrow, with giant ears, etc. Each kid explains how they're special, in a very positive way -- no "I'm different but that's okay" theme here -- it's more "my big feet are the coolest things ever" attitude. The "differences" are shown as attributes rather than things to accept & deal with. The last page features a mirror. Wonderful little book! I think it would be a great gift for a little girl with very curly hair, as it features a girl with very curly reddish-brown hair (like curly doll hair) that's quite fun to play with.

My 4 year old loved that she could see and talk about herself while looking in the mirror on the last page. We love the sentences rhyming reassuring that being different is a reason to celebrate.

This book is a perfect introduction for a young child to the importance of difference and tolerance in our world ... with great artwork and LOADS of fun interactive things on the pages!!

It's a cute book about differences but it is definately for older children and probably doesn't need to be sold as a board book for younger ones.

This a fabulous book. The only problem with the one that I order is it is very, very small and no extra features except the mirror on the last page. When I read the other reviews, I believed that I was ordering the full-size version. Next time, I will check the size!

Also, the listed price on the back of the book is $6.99. Where is the savings that I usually receive through Amazon?

Very cute. Like others have said, teaches children about how differences are ok. Doesn't focus on race but more on braces, freckles, etc.

SPOILER ALERT -
At the end of the book, there's a mirror where you can let you children tell you what they like about themselves. I use that opportunity to say "what about that pretty little nose" and things like that.

I highly recommend.

This is a great book for my preschooler. It has a great lesson - different is wonderful. She took it to school and everyone loved it. This is also a favorite book to read at bedtime.

Although I could see the lesson that this book was trying to get across; it did not hold my 3 year old grandson's attention. Perhaps when he is in school it will make more of an impact.

This book contains such a wonderful message to children about embracing the differences that make each person unique! Wonderful tool for teaching self-esteem.

Great board book gets to the point and very durable but I love the mirror in the back of the book it gives you a chance to have a great conversation with students about what makes them so unique and special and if they did not know the parts of their face give a Little mini quiz on it use the mirror it is a good resource!
