Two best friends each long to be like the other in this endearing picture-book for younger readers. "I wish I were just like you," they each say, envisioning a transformation that will paint them bright pink or palest white, give them a tail as curly as a lemon twist or as fluffy as cotton candy, make them bold or dainty. But in the end, this rabbit and pig discover that it is best to be themselves, and that it is their differences which make their friendship worthwhile...

With less than 150 words, Genevieve Côté's simple narrative has a direct, appealing quality, and her charming illustrations showcase the back-and-forth "dialogue" between her two characters. With a palette dominated by pink, white and brown, the whimsical artwork draws the reader in, making Me and You a pleasure to peruse. ( )

Two friends, a rabbit and a pig, want to be like each other, but end up discovering they love each other the way they are, instead. The text and art of this book give it a sweet and happy feel. The theme of this book is to be yourself, but with a special emphasis on loving your friends for who they are, as well. ( )

Very sweet illustrations. Very simple, short read aloud, Pig wants to be a rabbit and rabbit wants to be a pig, so they dress like each other, and then decide being themselves is the best thing of all. ( )

An adorable story about appreciating your own differences and individuality. The simplistic, yet beautiful artwork adds a warm, soft touch to the already sweet story. ( )

Book description
Two artistic friends, paintbrushes in hand—"I wish I were just like you," says the rabbit to the pig. "I wish I were just like you," says the pig to the rabbit. As the friends use paintbrushes and a few props to adjust tails, ears and noses, something soon becomes clear: they liked each other better before. "I am me and you are you—that's why we love each other, me and you!" This gentle celebration of friendship and individuality by award-winning writer and illustrator Geneviève Côté will reassure young readers that they are loved and special as themselves. It's a book with all-ages appeal and an ideal gift for a child — or a best friend.
