The Things I Can Do


"The Things I Can Do"
by Jeff Mack
2013
978-1-59643-675-6

This kid is amazing.  He can comb his own hair, choose his own clothes, tell you a story, and run really fast.  Little Jeff is proud of his ability to do things; proud of his independence as a little boy.

The best part is the book's artwork: a collage of scraps of paper, clear tape, masking tape, string, stickers--whatever Jeff Mack had lying around.  Little Jeff is illustrated roughly in crayon and the book looks like a child created it.  It's really fun to look at and kids will be interested, and hopefully attempt to create their own book in the style of "The Things I Can Do".
