(4) PS Illustrated by Susan Winter. A young girl demonstrates the things she could do with the physical or behavioral characteristics of the animals shown in the story's gentle watercolors. "If you had a tail / like a lizard's, / you could never / be caught / in a game of tag" (because her tail would snap off). Bauer's examples have child appeal, but she belabors the point that readers should feel special just as they are.
