Here, in a refreshing combination of photographs and drawings, is Mr. Wondriska's daughter, Alison, telling all the things "I can do." Alison's accomplishments range from everyday activities "run very fast," "eat an ice-cream cone," "listen to Daddy snore" - to the fascinating things small people dream about doing - "ride an elephant," "Fly a jet," "land on the moon," and "sail a ship". As Alison relates her experiences, both real and imaginary, children will happily share her excitement and enthusiasm. And they will feel especially pleased and surprised with her final activity - the thing every child looks forward to doing most of all. In All By Myself, the author of Which Way to the Zoo? and A Long Piece of String has tenderly captured a young child's joy at a world that is wonderfully inviting, constantly different and beautifully new." (Umschlag-Text). - W. Wondriska studierte an der Yale University und am Art Institute of Chicago.
