I adore this book! It has such cute illustrations, and I love the way it encourages readers to embrace their differences and live life with a glass that is half full. I highly recommend this one!

I really love children's books. I have a small collection of them and continue to buy them as an adult, because I love the magic of the words in them and the illustrations. When people say they are in a reading slump, the first advice I give is to pick up a children's book!
Listened to Dolly Parton read this as part of her "Goodnight With Dolly" series. I love her soothing voice and how she always sings a little. https://donate.imaginationlibrary.com/goodnight-with-dolly/

Love this book. Always have, always will. Its bout being yourself, and that anyone can like you just the way you are. Plus throw in Catrow's illustrations and it just can not be topped.
Molly Lou Melon is a spunky, fumble-fingered little first-grader with buck teeth and a voice that sounds like "a bullfrog being squeezed by a boa constrictor." She believes her grandma when she tells her things like "Walk as proudly as you can and the world will look up to you" and "Sing out clear and strong and the world will cry tears of joy." Molly Lou Melon's belief in herself is tested when the bully at her new school starts to pick on her.
David Catrow's wonderful and wacky illustrations fit the story and Molly Lou Melon's personality perfectly. My favorite is the close-up view of Molly Lou Melon smiling big so the world will smile right alongside her. Molly Lou Melon certainly never does anything by halves!
There are so many interesting and fun details in this book - in both the story and the illustrations. I noticed something new every time I read it. For example, Molly Lou Melon is never called "Molly Lou" or "Molly." She is ALWAYS "Molly Lou Melon."
My favorite part of the entire book, though, is the very last page. I don't want to spoil it for you, so you'll have to read this book to see what I'm talking about!

A wonderful book about self-confidence, self-esteem and being a weirdo, with pictures by the charming weirdo David Catrow whose books I always grab whenever I see his name on them. An absolute favorite
