Notes:
A Modern Masters Book for Children
The Saturday Evening Post created an edition of 200 copies as a give-away for advertisers.
Reviews for Me were mostly favorable. From the Philadelphia Inquirer (Dec 1st, 1963) - "'Me' just has to become a classic. Saroyan has written a short tale to be read from the age of four on..and on. It seems there was only one word, 'me'...and then there was a second, 'no.' Magnificently illustrated in wonderful shades of pinks, oranges, yellows, and even other colors, too."
