This book is about three young girls that are best friends. Their school is going to have a talent show and Annie suggest that they enter as an all-girl singing group. This seemed like a wonderful idea to Lillemor & Lilianne until they realized that they were going to have no say about the song they sang, the name of their group, or even what they wore! They quickly realized that the talent show was really going to be all about Annie! The group breaks ups and Annie decided to do a solo performance. The other two girls decide to do a duet.

All the girls quickly find out that things are not the same without the who group.

This book is so typical of what children go through when they won’t work together as a team. Will the girls reconcile before the talent show?

Me, Me, Me was extremely relatable to my daughter. As she is in PreK and even her friends have been learning to include every one and just their circle of friends. The story is of 3 friends who decide to enter a talent show. One of them wants to focus all the attention on herself which ends up causing dismay to the 3 girls friendships. I enjoyed this one, as did my daughter. I like how one of the messages in this book is not be bossy. Recommened.

Thank you to NetGalley and Kids Can Press for providing me with an e-ARC to read and review.

While I wasn't surprised by what happened, I did enjoy reading this book. Me, Me, Me is a lovely mixture of art, dialogue and language. It exposes kids to another language - French, I believe - and includes translations that are clearly indicated out of the way on the page.

Annika Dunklee touches upon something all kids need to learn: that it is important to include, not exclude; that you should be open and listen to all other's ideas; that friends don't boss each other around; that you should treat others the way you'd want to be treated.

The illustrations by Lori Joy Smith are so cute and really suited to the story and characters. The only thing I had trouble with was telling who was who. You know who Annie is but which girl is Lillemor and which girl is Lilianne?

Playful but serious, I would recommend this book as a fun story to read to kids but also as a teaching tool on friendship.

This book reminded me a lot of my "friendship situation" when i was in primary school. It would happen, most of the time, that the bossiest of us(we also were 3 friends) would decide what to do and how. I used to struggle a lot with this situation, mainly beacause i did not want someone telling me how to play! i enjoyed this book very much, as it reflects something that often happens in real life, but with a happy ending. I would read this to my future daughter to teach her not to be bossy with her friends! The drawings were also really cute, i enjoyed this book a lot.

This is a fun story about three friends entering a talent show, with one friend trying to steal the limelight and inevitably losing favour with her friends. It ends with Annie realising that she has made a mistake in trying too take over the show, and she gets her friends back - a happy ending with a moralistic meaning.

I liked that there were snippets of other languages within the text, as this makes languages fun, however it would have good to differentiate between the german and french. It was great that there were translations at the edges of the pages for these little phrases.

The illustrations are great fun and the layout is certainly quite different to anything I've seen before. An all-round five star fun book.

Three little girls don't have to agree to get along but if they want to win the talent show they have to learn teamwork and how to agree on the important things.

The author introduces the subject of compromise in an easy to understand. "Me, Me, Me" is a reminder that getting along means giving in sometimes.

With cute illustrations on every page, this books is about three best friends Annie, Lillemor and Lilianne.
All of them love singing and communicate in a special language with each other.
When teacher announces about a talent show, Annie quickly comes up with an idea- an all-girl singing group!
But when they go ahead and plan things, Annie wants everything according to her. She seems to disagree with every idea her friends suggest.
Just beacuse it was her idea, it has to be Annie's way!
Later, the friends realise their mistakes and combine ideas to turn out winners.
A lovely read!

This was an enjoyable story. I would like to read more from this series.

Me, Me, Me by Annika Dunklee teaches about friendship & teamwork. This was a fun book! The illustrations are perfect for little girl, they are bright and cute.

I received a copy of this book via Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

I thought that this was a cute book with a good story and ending. The characters in the book were great and I loved the images too - 4 stars from me.

Annie, Lillemor and Lilianne are best friends. When they find out the school is going to have a talent show, Annie says they should enter as a girl's singing group. All three girls love to sing so they agree and meet to design a plan. First they have to pick a song, then decide what costumes to wear as well as who will sing what parts. Unfortunately, Annie things she should be in charge because the group was her idea. When she ignores all the ideas from her friends, they decide to do their own thing and Annie is going solo. It does not take long for the girls to experience problems and realize they miss one another and are much better together. Will Lillemor and Lilianne accept Annie's apology? Can the girls work through this? Can they cooperate and work together?

This story teachers the value of friendship. Everyone will have issues with their friends over time, but with this story they will learn that it is a two way street and cooperation, empathy, respect, acceptance and forgiveness are important to make a relationship work. It is a wonderful book to share with kids. I can see using this book in various situations. When assignments are given where group work is involved, a group of friends are having a problem or just when learning about friendship and teamwork this book would be a great way to start a discussion. A good addition to a school library.

Three best girlfriends, Annie, Lillemor and Lilianne are thrilled when it is announced at school that there is going to be a talent show. All three girls love to sing so at Annie's prompting they decide to enter as a girl's singing group. They hurriedly plan a business picnic meeting and that's when things start going south. They have to agree on the song they will sing, the costumes they will wear and the singing roles they will perform.

Annie shuts down all their input because she demands to be in charge as this whole group singing thing was her idea. That does not fly well with her friends and they finally tell her enough is enough! They do not want to be part of the group any longer and they quit. Oh my! Annie's, me, me, me attitude causes a split and she figures fine, no problem, I'll go solo.

Through trials and tribulations Annie discovers she isn't doing well on her own and she misses her friends. She fears she has made a huge mistake by breaking up the group because of her selfishness and her friend's duo act they are creating is greatly lacking in lustre. The girls have to swallow their pride, forgive each other and work in unity so they can give their best performance at the talent show. Will it happen do you think?

Empathy, diversity and cooperation are featured. The illustrations are expressive and vibrant making them kid-friendly and alluring. Friendship is a two-way street (in this case a three-way street) and everyone in that relationship has important things to say, share and are to be respected. Teamwork within a group is essential for it to succeed and for everyone to feel a sense of ownership. It is a wonderful book to share with your kids.

The girls are back and learning that me me me is more than a vocal warm up. Friendship involves everyone being a part and not just one person getting all the good stuff. A good book for the series.

Me, Me, Me was an excellent story about friendship and working through struggles. When one friend thinks they are the best and know everything the other girls need a break, but Annie realizes she needs her friends and figures out what to do to be back as part of the group. This is a good tale for any young child figuring out how to share the spotlight.

Based around three girls, Annie, Lillemor and Lilianne, the girls are all from different countries and speak different languages.

Annie wants to enter the school talent show as a girls singing group. Annie takes control over the song choice and clothing the girls should wear and believes she should get to decide because she's the most keen on the idea.

It's all about dealing with friendship and appreciating each other's opinions and including everyone's ideas not taking over and ruling everything.

The illustrations are vibrant and colourful also showing the girls as multicultural from their language heritages we also have certain words included in other languages which also adds to the power and influence it can give children.

Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!
