This funny interactive quiz identifies the things that make us special and celebrates the most special of all - you!
Do you ever feel like you’re different from everyone else? Like there’s no one quite like you? Then you might be special! Take this quiz to find out!This playful book speaks directly to readers and asks questions to determine if they qualify as special. The first questions are pretty conventional: Do you like to stay up late? Can you run fast and jump high? Are you sometimes wild and crazy? Yes! Yes! Yes! But then: Do people run away when they see your furry face and pointy teeth? No? Definitely not a werewolf, then! This same pattern repeats for several fantastical creatures - unicorns, dragons, mermaids. Then, finally, readers are reassured: though they may be only human, they are different from everyone else. There is no one quite like them. As the book affirms, You’re special because you’re … YOU!
