C&C Book Club: So Few of Me

A gentle reminder to us all that it's okay to do less and spend more time just enjoying the world around us.


Title: So Few of Me
Author/Illustrator: Peter H. Reynolds










What we love: Quite possibly this book appeals to me so much these days, because of it's ability to capture how over scheduled we all are.  Nevertheless it is a delightful tale examining what would happen if we could just one or two or more of ourselves to help with our long to do lists.  Peter H, Reynolds, illustrator/author of another of our favorites, The Dot, has done it again.  He delights us with a simple tale of one little boy overwhelmed by his long list of tasks dreams of having one more of him and then more and more so that he can get everything done.  With lovely illustrations and subtle counting practice, the story resonates with both parents and children.  While the littlest will enjoy the pictures, it is recommended for 3 years and up.
