Editorial Reviews

Los Angeles Times Book Review
Her rollicking enthusiasm is infectious, especially in the joyous, chaotic, colorful watercolors
Children's Literature
When a 4-year-old recalls her early years and philosophizes, that is funny! That's exactly what the narrator does in this creative tale. Kids of all ages will devour this. "When I was little, I didn't understand time outs. Now I do, but I don't like them." Families will be writing their own "When I Was Little" remembrances. The illustrations are wacky, fun and in keeping with the humor of the text.

Children's Literature
Life can be so much fun and Jamie Lee Curtis shares what it was like when she was a baby as compared to her advanced age of four. The adult author has successfully transformed herself, and her delightful reminiscences will amuse kids and adults. To whit, when she was little, she didn't understand time outs--now she does; when she was little, she "ate goo and yucky stuff"--but now she eats "pizza and noodles and fruit and Chee-tos." The illustrations are quite funny and this board book version will inspire even younger kids to talk about their lives as babies as compared to their current advanced years. 1999 (orig.
Children's Literature
This story is written from the point of view of a four-year old. The author tells about when she was little, before preschool. The repeated pattern "When I was little..." would be easy for preschoolers and kindergartners to follow as a beginning writing experience. The pictures are delightful watercolors that are filled with many details. This book shows another dimension to the actress, Jamie Lee Curtis. 1995 (orig.
Stephanie Zvirin
In her first book, Curtis capitalizes on the notion that kids love hearing about themselves as babies and takes it one delicious step further by having a four-year-old tell on herself. In a playful first-person narrative, the sprightly young miss describes the many ways she has left babyhood behind: no more "silly hair" or wearing "floaties" in the pool, no more eating "goo and yucky stuff." In keeping with the lively text, the watercolor illustrations are a congenial, colorful scramble, with many freewheeling, double-page spreads showing the little girl as both baby and preschooler. Despite the confusion this occasionally causes, the artwork's good humor perfectly matches the jaunty air of the words and beautifully captures the narrator, naughty and nice, happy and proud.

    Wonderful Book for Sharing!

    This book will help parents, grandparents, or friends help children accept their accomplishments and to see how much they mature and grow. Great for sharing with children to show how much someone cares.

    All grown up

    This is a four-year-old's look at her youth. She writes about all the things she couldn't do when she was younger and about all things she can do now that she is four. I liked this book very much for young children ages 3-6. I thought this was cute book to help children feel like they are able to do a lot for themselves.
