Illustrated by
Jiang Hong Chen.
A child lists all the ways he hopes to change the world--by feeding the hungry, ending war, and stamping out earthquakes. To accomplish these things he acknowledges: "First I should learn to read and write." The rhymed text is occasionally thought-provoking but generally forced. More successful are Chen's Sendak-inspired Chinese-ink on rice paper paintings featuring dramatic shapes and abstract backgrounds.
