(4) K-3 Translated by Rosemary Lanning. Illustrated by Cristina Kadmon. After a day of play, Sebastian tells his father all the things he'd like to be when he grows up. When the young turtle asks his dad what he wanted to be, he says, "a father," and Sebastian decides he wants to be just like him. While the pastel illustrations convey the right mixture of humor and tenderness, the sweet tale ends on an overly sentimental note.
Reviewer: Emma Loy-Santelli
