Very cute story and I could see using it with my students in a lesson in treating others kindly. Especially appropriate since we have many students with the same first name!

I am sure that every new school year brings this fight back to the forefront. Which Steve is THE Steve? Which is stronger, faster, smarter, etc? You see this story played out on the pages as it would in real life. And as such, you get a chuckle, but don’t get to deal with the upset children. So high fives all around and everyone can be Steve.

I loved I am Bat and I love The Steves too. It captures perfectly the competitive nature of young children and their drive to be bigger and better than friends and siblings. Kids will laugh out loud at the things the Steves the insults they throw at one another and the wonderfully, comical illustrations. I love the way Morag Hood captures emotion in her illustrations. Simple, beautiful and funny - a perfect package. I have no doubt the Steves will become a classic favourite for young children.

5 happy stars! I enjoyed a previous children's book by Hood quite a lot (I Am Bat)and the publisher offered this book for review via Netgalley. I loved it! Great and colorful illustrations that young children will find colorful and fun. The yellow is very eye catching! It will open up the opportunity for a much needed discussion about comparison and if anyone is better than another or are we all equal. I really liked this theme and would definitely like to own a classroom copy.

It's cute and appropriate. It's a great resource for young readers and their parents or teachers. Many thanks to Sourcebooks Jabberwocky, Morag Hood, and NetGalley for a digital copy to review. I look forward to sharing it's message with young readers. Highly recommended! Comes out Sept. 1, 2018. I'll be picking it up. :-)

Boy, do I love this little book! It has the cutest illustrations and a fun story about two Puffins named Steve who try to outdo the other by singing their own praises. Their competitiveness heats up until one accuses the other of having weird feet and smelling like poo. Shows that forgiveness and civility are virtues children are wise to learn — and that adults can benefit from too. 5/5

Thanks to the author, Sourcebooks Jabberwocky and NetGalley for the review copy. Opinions are mine.
