I Can Do It Myself!

　　要出門了，自己挑衣服穿；
　　有點鼻塞，自己擤鼻涕。
　　餓了，就咬一口香甜的蘋果…

　　透過簡單的押韻句型，作者舉出學齡前的小朋友在日常生活中會遇到的挑戰，隨著書中的孩子完成各種不同的任務，小讀者也能跟著舉出自己可以做到的項目。從小寶寶的依賴時期，逐漸茁壯成為可以自己探索週遭的好奇幼兒，孩子成長的喜悅在本書中表露無遺。樂觀的文句和復古的插畫風格，讀來親切又充滿溫暖鼓勵。爸媽可以與孩子一起細數書中的活動，期盼他們每天都有多一點的進步，穩穩地邁向獨立之路。【文∕博客來外文館】

This book celebrates the feats of growing out of babyhood and starting to embrace the world on your own terms. Whether it’s being tall enough to reach a high shelf or brave enough to splash in the waves, Krensky and Gillingham address the small victories that come with growing just a little bit older. Energentic text and retro-fresh illustrations celebrate this important developmental stage with charm and relevance.
