I Can Be Anything

Description

A pre-bedtime game of charades gets out of hand in the best possible way in this laugh-out-loud picture book from rising international picture book star Shinsuke Yoshitake. It's time for bed, but Natsumi has a brilliant idea, even better than going to sleep: She'll pretend to be something and her mom will guess what she is! "What am I?" is the springboard for a series of creative interpretations of day-to-day objects, feelings, and even food! At once a guessing game and a page out of a parent's playbook, I Can Be Anything has something for everyone. And even if the "right" answer isn't always obvious, it's always unequivocally fun!

Shinsuke Yoshitake is the author-illustrator of The Boring Book and The I Wonder Bookstore and the creator of many award-winning picture books. His books have been translated into more than 8 languages. He lives in Japan.

Yoshitake (The Boring Book) strikes again with Natsumi, a high-energy girl in yellow pajamas whose bedtime powers of invention nearly defeat her exhausted mother. . . . [He] creates lovable characters. . . in this sharp-eyed portrait of the way kids rev up just before they collapse.-Publishers Weekly, starred review
