Horn Book

Combining natural history with bibliotherapy, this book extols the differences found in nature: 'Tigers have stripes, leopards have spots, / and lions don't have either. / None wishes they were different. / Each is satisfied with the special gifts it has. / You have special gifts, too, / and they are wonderful!' Detailed, mostly realistic paintings adorn this 'feel good' book with a forced message about empowerment.
