(4) K-3 Translated by Eida de la Vega. Illustrated by Bonnie Adamson. In Strong, Willie envies the strength of his friend Manuel, who, in Tall, wants Willie's height. Eventually, both boys realize they're okay just the way they are. The illustrations, though dated-looking, add gentle humor. The bilingual texts are uneven; some of the vocabulary words are more difficult than others. Glos. Review covers these titles: I Wish I Was Strong like Manuel and I Wish I Was Tall like Willie.
