review 1: A must read for anyone named Elizabeth no matter what their age. There was a time when I felt the same way as the main character (I'm an Elizabeth, too) and wanted to be known by my full first name (there are so many nicknames for Elizabeth, and some of them are quite terrible). Eventually though, I grew to like the nickname my parents chose for me (Elizabeth was too big a name for such a small girl), and refer to myself by that nickname which is Libby (it's even the name on my name tag for work). It still rubs me raw when someone calls me by another Elizabeth nickname, but most ask me what I prefer.
review 2: This story is about a girl named Elizabeth who struggles with everyone she knows calling her whatever nickname they like. A lot of kids can probably rel... moreate to this. I know I, for one, hate to be called Becca, yet everyone feels free to shorten my name to that instead of the obviously superior Becky option (sorry Becca). This book would be great for a younger story-time. I also enjoyed the simple color palette of blue, orange, black and white. less
