McDonnell, P. (2011). Me…jane. NY: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers.
Little Jane's whole world has revolved around animals for as long as she can remember. Her amazing imagination and brilliant scientific mind made her childhood an entertaining story. Patrick McDonnell tells the story of a little girl whose ambitions molded her. We see small glimpses into the mind of a little girl that had so much to give the world.
Patrick McDonnell represented the evaluative criteria of style. His book Me... Jane is beautifully written. He uses age appropriate vocabulary for younger students while not losing any of the informational quality. This book is non-fiction that looks like fiction. His work is meant to inspire children to follow their dreams by giving them a real account of a little girl that accomplished her goals. His use of watercolor/impressionist illustrations gives the book a whimsical feel that will appeal to children of all ages.
