My copy has an amazingly cute picture of me on the cover.
My father drew the pictures for me because I did not want it to look sloppy.
When I was nine, I went back through and crossed out my old answers to replace them with more mature responses.
Figuring out how many steps I had to take to reach certain destinations really stressed me out. Also, my eyes change color, and I was upset that there was no option for that.

I love this book. I would use this book in the classroom to help children explain who they are by describing their height, how many teeth they have, how much they weigh, what their hear looks like, the color of their eyes, etc. The book helps children to describe their own wonderful self. I would use it in a kindergarten classroom.
My parents still have this book-- first filled in by my older brother, then 10 year later by me, and 20 years later still by my nephew. Children fill it in with facts about themselves, but it's different than just height or favorite color; I remember it asking me to count my freckles! It's pretty precious.
A gift for my son on his 5th birthday. He has so enjoyed getting to write and draw in this book and we aren't even close to finished with it yet!
This book kept me and my sister busy for hours when we were little, trying to find the number of windows in our house, ect.
just thought I would add Jakes top picks too! Especailly since typically that is what I read now a days:)

a book for your child to fill out, nice to do and keep for memories
Never have I related so deeply with a protagonist's motivations.
I LOVED this when I was a kid. I still have the copy I filled out!
I totally had this book and filled it out. Ah, the memories!

This is a really fun book to read.
Hilarious for all ages!
Perfect for not only keeping a memory of a moment in a child's life to look back on fondly, but also wonderfully self-centered! If I could do one a year I would since I am still the center of the world in my own mind. Wonderfully interactive.
I will fan
I got this when I was in pre-K and had it all filled out. Everything you ever wanted to know about me was there, my full biography (well up to pre-K at least). Then, SOMEONE, decided that it was no longer a book about me, it was a book about them and erased everything and put her own details inside...
It's ok, she made it up to me and bought me a new one, like 3 years ago, but that's cool...

I think four of the five kids in my family had a copy of this, myself included. It is fun to look back and see what we entered in the blank spaces. Similar to a diary, this book has space for children to enter information about themselves. Includes vital stats, number of teeth, preferences, hair color, etc. Of course, since this is Dr. Seuss, a comical air runs throught the text.

This book is awesome. I filled mine out when I was 3 or 4, and it's pretty great. Apparently I used to have crazy blue hair and would never ever eat birdseed. My only warning is, don't go back and fill-in/change answers when you're 9 or 10, because they're decidedly less funny. This will end up being a family treasure.
This is not technically a book that you read. You fill in all of the blanks with information about yourself. I gave it 5 stars because I got it for one of my birthdays when I was really little and I thought that it was the coolest thing ever.
Probably the first autobiographical book I filled out. I wish I still had my copy from when I was younger. It's a great book for kids between the ages of 7 and 10 to write and then keep for looking back at when they get older.
Great for kids! I had a lot of fun filling this out, and I look back with fond memories. It's a great idea to let your child fill it out on their own, though you can always help. Encourage them to draw their own pictures inside.
i got this book as a Christmas present. OK, obviously it's a kid's book, but it's quite adorable and you might be surprised how much fun a 28 year old woman can have filling it out. oooooo... i'm a co-author.....
Conner loves this book. It allows the child to totally customize the book based on their looks, their family,their home. We've had the book for 3 years and he never gets tired of going through it.
I recently found my copy of this that I filled out when I was in 2nd grade. It's an adorable book for kids to write their first autobiography. And then cringe when they find it 20 years later.
My kids love reading the one that I did when I was little so I got them their own and they have really enjoyed filling it out and re-reading mine and theirs.
LOL, I think I must've started this book in 3rd grade, but it looks like I went back in Junior High and erased some stuff and wrote in new answers. This is a hoot!
My version of this book is still on my parents' bookshelf, and needless to say, it is a masterpiece. I enjoyed it then and it only gets better with age.
This is a great book for kids to do (and adults). I'm currently working on it with my daughter...she keeps changing her mind about her answers (lol).
loved this book! I was scared to tell my mom to write in that I hate tuna fish casserole because that would remind her that it exists.
