Ask me what I like.
I like brilliant colored-pencils applied in impressionistic scribbles.
By Suzy Lee.

Ask me what else I like.
I like simple and precise text that mimics a smart preschooler's conversation.
I like how she declares herself by means of her preferences (pro: ice cream, geese, the color red) and tests her adult.

This was alright; I don't really care for the illustration style, and the text just seemed kind of tedious to me. Not sure who it would really appeal to.

Simple, yet lovely colored pencil drawings depicting a day of fun and questions with a girl and her dad.

"I like bugs."
"Insects?"
"No, bugs."


Very accurate caregiver-and-kid conversation throughout!

Ask me what I like.

I really liked this book. It perfectly captures the way some little girls pepper their parents with questions about all sorts of things. I also really the sweet relationship between this father and daughter. The text changes color depending on which of them is speaking, which I also really liked.

Ask me what I love.

I love Suzy Lee's colored pencil illustrations. I've seen only one other of her books and loved that one's illustrations too. The colors are so vibrant.

This would be fun to read aloud with one person being dad and the other being the little girl.

The story itself was alright. Pretty cute. It follows the day of a dad with his daughter. The real thing I loved about this book was the art. Very unique, very pretty!

Lovely father daughter interaction. Different color fonts indicate whose talking. Sweeping color filled illustrations balance the text nicely.
