I Wish I was a Brownie tells the tale of Chippy. The poor cookie feels out of sorts and is embarrassed because he wishes he were a brownie. With the help of his teacher Mrs. Chipster he soon learns to love who he is and that he doesn't really want to be a brownie. He just wants to be himself.
This was a cute book that had a great lesson to teach children. With a son who is "different" from most "normal" children I thought this book was perfect for my son. He doesn't always notice that he is "different" from other children but when he does it is devastating for him. He wants to be like all the other kids but he is not and probably never will be. I love that this book teaches children to love themselves for who they are. My only problem with the book was that the "chip" related names made it confusing and a bit hard to read aloud to my son.
My son really liked the book and asked his father to read it to him a day or two after I had first read it to him.
4 out of 5 stars

**This book was read with my 8 year old severely learning disabled son and the review reflects his opinion as well.

Sounds perfect, except for the confusing names. Couldn't they have done variations on chocolate instead? Chippy and Mrs. Cocoa, etc.?
