(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Diane de Groat. It's Future Job Day at Sam's nursery school, and Sam, who has zookeeping aspirations, is thrilled when his teacher says he can tell the other children about a series of zoo animals: "For six weeks he could stand in front of the circle and feel that feeling of being the most interesting person in the room." Lowry spins interesting variations on her theme, and the book ends with a swell (and well-prepared) surprise.
