# I Can Be Anything! - Hardcover

by **Bob Staake** (Author)

**A shape-shifting lizard becomes anything he wants in this funny--and empowering--Beginner Book by award-winning illustrator Bob Staake!**

The giant lizard star of Bob Staake's Beginner Book _Can You See Me?_ is back--and this time, instead of changing colors, he's changing _shapes_. (Very _un-lizard-like_ shapes, including a robot on a dairy cow, a surfboard for a whale, and a one-eyed, green-headed monster!) Featuring simple rhymed text and high-energy graphic-style illustrations, this cheerful, funny easy reader is exactly what Dr. Seuss had in mind when he launched the Beginner Books series in 1957 with _The Cat in the Hat_. What's more, Staake's charming lizard shares an empowering "You can do it!" message with young readers.
