What About Me? Said the Flea
Ratings1
Average rating5
Set in fun, rhyming couplets, What About Me? celebrates the power of imagination, determination, and the good things that come in teeny, tiny packages. When a little girl sits down at her desk one day to write a story, she struggles to find her inspiration ... Luckily for her, there's a whole host of potential picture-book characters who want to be the star of her story and make their cases convincingly. There's the magical, proud unicorn with sparkly hooves and a glittery horn. There are the big, burly bears hosting a picnic, the loveable llamas in pajamas, the stylish sloth, the lion, the penguins, and even a roar-some, claw-some dinosaur ... But, unnoticed by the little girl, an even littler flea is hopping and jumping around, hoping to be the one she chooses to write a story about. "What about me?" it cries. With all the big characters and commotion, will the flea ever be noticed?

An absolute beautiful book with an important message. I read this story to my class and they loved it. They had fun guessing which character was coming up next and there was so much laughter from the children when each character was revealed. We discussed our favourite characters from the book and identified the rhyming words, which added to the pace and enjoyment of the story. The illustrations are bold and bright adding to the richness of the text. There is so much detail in the pictures that the children love exploring these and discovering new things that they didn't spot the first time around. I know this will be a firm favourite in the classroom encouraging plenty of discussion and experimenting using different voices for each character.
