My Nose, Your Nose
Melanie Walsh has once again created picture books for the youngest child. This time she introduces the concept of diversity, but her approach is very gentle:Agnes has blue eyes. Kits so much they have in common, too.

Venn Diagram: A great compare and contrast book. Very simple. There are two differences followed by one similarity. The same pattern continues throughout the book.
Special issues: Good for introducing racism/differences in appearance to young children pre-k to 1st grade. Two kids are different in how they look (e.g. skin, hair and eyes), but they are similar in some interest they have that isn't tied to race/culture, etc (e.g. they both don't like shampoo, they both like the smell o...more

Yes, this book was created to put across a point. In this case, I think it's a very good idea and I wasn't annoyed by it at all. I believe our brains are naturally designed to compartmentalize, to categorize, to separate, and assimilate. We like others like us. This book simply states there are many ways to be alike - not just physical characteristics. Since we've recently talked to our kids about how the choices we make determine if we're nice or mean or whatever, not what we look like or ...more
This is another one of those books that's kind of contrived - I prefer when authors point out things like differences among people in a more organic way instead of cramming it down your throat. That said, this was a really cute book pointing out how people are the same and different. I like that is very simple and could be easily read to a very young child - it could almost be a board book (though my little guy is into eating books these days, so I probably won't get too close to him with my c...more
Looks at what pairs of children have in common, despite their obvious differences, such as Daisy and Kit both kicking hard in the swimming pool, although one's legs are short and the other's long.
Great illustrations; simple and colorful. Could include pointing to body parts that are discussed. Would be great for story time for the very young.

The last spread with all the little babies in bed is beyond cuteness. A great share for toddlers and younger preschoolers by the always terrific Melanie Walsh. As a librarian, you get authors you know you can always count on - and she is one of them.
It's a recommended laptime book, but I don't love it. Again, it's a little clunky to read, and I find the point it tries to put off really heavy handed. I don't know, maybe I'm just jaded.
You might be brown and I might be white, but we "both have pink tounges". Awesome
Book about differences and similarities in people.
