I Am Just Right
David McPhail. Holiday House, $15.99 (32p) ISBN 978-0-8234-4106-8
A growing rabbit lists the many things that it has outgrown, including a crib, shirt, shoes, and tricycle (“I am too big for my tricycle”). But getting bigger simply means finding new things to grow into, the rabbit learns: “I am just right for my new shirt. And I am just right for my new shoes”—as well as “just right” for a fancy new bike and “just right for this book.” In his distinctive watercolor and pen-and-ink style, McPhail illustrates a stocky, relatable animal character navigating new experiences and becoming more self-assured. Ages 2–5. (Mar.)
