Summary
This heartwarming story reminds us how satisfying it is to grow up surrounded by love. I Can Do It Too! affirms a little girl's growing independence as she, too, can begin to do all the things she sees her parents, relatives and neighbors do such as pouring juice at breakfast, strumming a guitar, and even riding a bike! The simple cadence of text and direct to the heart art result in a book as warm and touching as its message, providing reading pleasure for toddlers, older siblings, and the adults who love them. [3]

A review by Publishers Weekly had been made and posted on their online site. In I Can Do It Too! by Karen Baicker and illustrated by Ken Wilson-Max, a simple rhyming text and the artist's signature bold, bright colors outlined with thick black brushstrokes appear on heavy cardstock pages. A girl shouts the titular refrain as she emulates the activities of the adults around her, such as pouring juice or riding a bike (or, in her case, a trike), gaining confidence even if she doesn't always do everything perfectly.
