DESCRIPTION:
The child grows large when he mentions his apparent favorite choice-a basketballer-but his relatively small size is reinstated at the end when the adult sensibly concludes: "-YOU HAD better EAT UP your GREENS." Readers will enjoy the unfinished aspects of Turner's sketches, and the invitation to inspect a line that is not completely erased, or the artist's color palette. From School Library Journal Grade 1-5-A man asks a child, "What are you going to be when you grow up?" and the youngster's imagination runs wild as he considers an array of possibilities: a nurse, a numerologist, a lion tamer, a submarine commander, and a pollution stopper, among others. From the author's inked footprint on the opening page to the witty back flap, this is a delightfully sophisticated gem with broad appeal.Lee Bock, Glenbrook Elementary School, Pulaski, WICopyright 2003
