Synopsis
On her way to market Jenna makes four new friends. Along with Baby Elephant, there's Robin, who thinks Jenna has a very silly beak; Fly, who wonders where her hundred eyes are; and Goldfish, who thinks she has very goofy gills. Kirkus has written that "the power and grace in Schwartz's spare style and language lies in the fact that she never condescends to young readers―she just compares notes." Here she once again completely and convincingly captures the world of a child in a beautiful and winning picture book about . . . a beautiful girl.

About the Author
Amy Schwartz has written and illustrated many classic books capturing the moods and motivations of young children, including Bea and Mr. Jones, a Reading Rainbow featured title, What James Likes Best, winner of the Charlotte Zolotow Award, and A Teeny Tiny Baby. She lives in Brooklyn, New York. A Beautiful Girl is her first book for Roaring Brook Press.
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-K–Precocious young Jenna meets an assortment of characters on her way to the market, and they all find her unusual features baffling. Baby Elephant thinks that her trunk looks funny. Robin declares her beak silly. Her scarcity of eyes confuses Fly, who has 100. And Goldfish calls her gills goofy. Jenna patiently explains to each animal in turn that she is a girl and therefore has a nose, a mouth, two eyes, and ears instead. With all misunderstandings finally cleared up, they all go to the market together to purchase a few special treats and then play until Jenna's mother comes. The short and snappy story line and dialogue will hold the attention of young audiences, as will the naive cartoon illustrations in bright, candy-colored watercolors on white backgrounds. This is a good choice for sharing with groups of young children who are discovering the wonders of their own five senses.–Julie Roach, Cambridge Public Library, MA
