The Same But Different Too is a wonderful, simple and clear rhyming read. Things can be the same, but different too. This is a story about children and animals, who have similarities and differences. Whilst I really love the message, and thinking about what is the same with others who appear different is valuable, I think the use of animals as the comparison is perhaps more socially accepted. I really think children should explore this message with the people they share their world with. It would have been nice to have a page, perhaps at the end, encouraging this. This would definitely be how I would follow a reading of this story. A girl and a dog wear similar outfits ‘I am me, and you are you.’ Then the rhyme carries onto the next page with a cat and a girl with the same coloured hair wearing the same clothes ‘We’re the same, but different too’. This wonderful rhythm carries on through the book, and as the book develops, so does the rhyme. It is simple. So easily memorable, children will soon be able to join in with the reading. This text is so simply representative of a wide range of children, who are less likely to find themselves in books. Different children, from various ethnicities, with different hair colours, clothing styles, with different mobility assistants, to the various hobbies and interests. This will help more readers to feel represented in narratives.
