I’m Not Cute! by Johnathan Allen
 I have always been attracted to stories with owls. No surprise that the 101 Picture Book Challenge contains the best one, “I’m not cute!” by Johnathan Allen. Baby Owl considers himself mature enough to go for a walk in the forest on his own, hoping nobody will bother him. However, he encounters many animals who irritate and frustrate him tremendously every time they bring up his cuteness. Baby Owl’s behavior, a typical case of the terrible twos, is depicted in a fun way. Simple and expressive illustrations make his terrible tantrums the cutest of them all.
