Spinelli takes the common theme of kids wondering what to be when they grow up and gives it a charming twist. / Of all the many, many jobs, which one will be the best for me. Pumpkin grower / dandelion blower / paper-plane folder / puppy-dog holder. Spinelli's cunning touch is that all of the possibilities are things a kid can do right now, without having to go through all the pesky waiting of growing up. A gatefold at the end provides the solution: he is going to choose every one of them! The exuberant, larger-than-life watercolour-and-acrylic illustrations evoke the whimsy of the imagined scenarios and include a troupe of rabbits that appears somewhere on each page. A simple concept wonderfully executed. Preschool-Kindergarten. --Julie Cummins

About Jerry Spinelli
Jerry Spinelli started out wanting to be a cowboy. Luckily for young readers, he later decided to become a writer, even though he's still not sure he can call himself one (he does other things too, like picking berries and skipping stones).
