I can fly...

My favorite book of all time when I was a child was I Can Fly by Mary Blair.
The colors are so bold and the story is simple and fun.

The entire book is:

"A bird can fly.
So can I.

I can squirm.
Like a worm.

I can grab.
Like a crab.

Crunch crunch crunch
I'm a goat out to lunch.

Who's busy like a bee?
Me me me.

Who can walk like a bug?
Me! Ug ug.

I'm merrier
Than a terrier.

Swish!
I'm a fish.

Pick pick pick
I'm a little chick.

Who can live in a hole?
Me! Like a mole.

Who can climb anywhere?
Me! Like a bear.

A clam
is what I am.

A cow can moo.
I can too.

My house is
like a mouse's.

Pop pop pop
I'm a rabbit with a hop.

Bump bump bump
I'm a camel with a hump.

Haw haw haw
I'm a donkey in the straw.

Pitter pitter pat
I can walk like a cat.

Howl howl howl
I'm an old screech owl.

Gubble gubble gubble
I'm a mubble in a pubble.
I can play
I'm anything that's anything.
That's MY way."
