Gold Award Winner/ MCA Best Picture Book
Cougar Cub Tales I’m Just Like You is about a cougar cub brother and sister who, one day, encounter a creature very unlike themselves. They have ungrounded apprehension about whether or not the blind bobcat is “a REAL cougar cub”.
By the end of the tale, they realize that, despite their differences, they really ARE the same where it counts. They learn to overlook their physical differences as they embrace their new friend. It is a timeless story that deals with the everyday issue of intolerance, especially regarding physical difference and disability. It is written in a wonderful nonsensical rhyme, and the eighteen watercolors are an exquisite representation of this charming tale.

I'm Just Like You part of a picture book series by Sharon Cramer. The book is 38 pages and talks about two orphan cougar cubs who meet another cougar cub that looks different than them. The story is about how they learn not to judge others based on their appearance.The drawings look like they are done with colored pencils and/or chalk and then transferred over to the computer. In the Kindle format, the words are separate from the pictures and you have to either read the book vertically causing the picture to be smaller, or horizontal causing the words to not be on the same screen as the picture. I find this format irritating, especially since there the book could be updated to fix this.
It is not a bad children's book at all. There is just nothing about it that makes it stand out.

Cougar Cub Tales I'm Just Like You edition by Sharon Cramer Children eBooks Reviews
The story is very cute. The pictures are playful and full of movement. I liked the character that the two cougars meet. He tries to explain how he is the same as the cougars. Now, this is a story about acceptance. I know nowadays we are taught that we are all the same, our DNA is the same, and it doesn't matter how we look on the outside. This of course is true, we are all internally the same. But our looks differ. In this story the different character tries to prove he is the same like the cougars. I think it should have been better if the bobcat had embraced and acknowledged his differences, pointed out it was ok to be different, that everyone is unique and different in their looks and this is perfectly fine. I know this is the total opposite of what the book is about. However, I did like it the way it is too, but it made me think that the bobcat is ashamed to embrace what is different in him. Maybe I dig too deeply into the story... The rhymes were good, however, the formatting needs to be checked. There were some highlights that appeared in the book. Some words were transferred to the next line by one letter, such in "thing-s". The "s" was on the next line. Other than that, there were no sentences going to other pages such as another reviewer had mentioned. Overall, I think the book was good, the pictures nice, the formatting needs to be checked again.
Every evening (at least I try for every evening) I read aloud to our children (five of them), so they know the drill; I usually read pre teen chapter books, classics, etc. I took the with us to run errands and attend an appointment. In the waiting room there were toys and chalk to write on the "wall" with, so I figured my only audience would be my eight year old I picked it out for since she loves big cats. (She also prefers stories with pictures - she has a more difficult time understanding what she's reading without them) My ten year old joined us simply for the sake of being with us, and held our baby in her lap. As I read, my younger son, 19 mo, wandered over to see. He must have liked the pictures or the rhymes cuz he hung around, which attracted my other son's, almost 3 yo, attention, so he came to see and stayed until the end. That evening, my almost 3 yo asked for the kitty story.
I appreciated the life lesson; we don't LOOK the same, but that doesn't really make us completely different, and our differences is what helps us survive.
Loved the rhyming, but the cadence was hard to find, which is important to keep babies' attention.
Pictures were great; wish I had a color screen to really enjoy them; unlike some stories where the pictures are hard to see in black and white, my kids knew what they were looking at.
As a Christian, I'm not sure I really appreciated the explanation of where the bobcat's spots came from.

Book Overview
Mom's Choice Award winner COUGAR CUB TALES I'm Just Like You (eBook) is about the continuing adventures of the cougar cubs as they encounter a creature very different from themselves. It deals with non-acceptance for physical difference or disability and the watercolors are a feast for the eyes as the text again communicates to the child in a lovely sing-song rhyme.
Mary's Review
Brother and sister cougar stumble across a creature who is different from them but claims to be a cougar just like them. They continue to point out his differences only for him to give them a reason why he is still a cougar like them but only different. They point out he has no tail, but he does. It is smaller. His ears too big-he can hear better; his fur spotted; his eyes just not right. Because he is different, he is not one of them.
Brother and sister cougar quickly learn through their new and different friend that just because someone looks, acts, speaks, or has a disability doesn't mean they aren't one of them.
The colorful illustrations in this book are wonderful and delightful.
I recommend this book for ages 4-8
About The Author
Sharon Jean Cramer was born in Jamestown, New York in 1960. Sharon's education includes a Master's in Anesthesia Education from Gonzaga, with her minor area of study in fine arts at the University of Houston. She pulls heavily from her experiences in healthcare to consider subject material for her children's books.
She also pulls from very personal experience for The Sneezy Wheezy Day. Her twin sister struggled with childhood illness for many years. Sharon observed that the treatments, though helpful and therapeutic were not what was ultimately most significant. What mattered most to Vonnie was the family and friends around her, who supported and loved her.
Sharon is surrounded by her own cubs. Her three sons all live in Spokane, and though grown, have opinions about the cougar cubs. Lost and Alone was actually written for her youngest son, Chase, when he was born. It is about his two older brothers, who were eight and ten years old at the time! Cole and Shad tangled on occasion so it was easy for Sharon to write about sibling rivalry and conflict resolution!
Sage is Sharon's granddaughter, loves the Cougar Cub Tales, and is a tough critic! She pits the cubs against Dora, Spongebob and of course the Disney princesses, but so far, the Cougar Cubs hold their own (and dad doesn't bore so quickly over reading them over, and over, and over!)
Sharon's husband, Daryl, is a nurse anesthetist, and `personal organizer' for Sharon. He is also chef, karaoke partner, best friend, and inspiration to the author. He is a good voice of reason, sometimes editor, and unlikely audience during studio recordings. (More than one take has occurred due to his enthusiastic presence!). If you see Sharon at a big event, say hello to Daryl as well. He is usually close by.
