This is a warm, useful, entertaining look at all the facets of a child. It helps children to know that they can feel different things at different times and all of those feelings and versions of themselves are accepted.
Sometimes they're "lazy as a lizard" and sometimes they're as "busy as a bee." Sometimes you feel big as a whale and sometimes you feel small as an ant. Sometimes you're mean and sometimes you're nice. Put it all together and "you've got me!" Good for self-esteem, self-reliance and reassurance.
