When I Grow Up

40 pp. | Candlewick | May, 2005 | Trade ISBN 0-7636-2675-9 $12.99
(4) K-3 "When I grow up, / I'd like to be / Married with / a family." For the school musical, children take turns enlisting glib rhymes to relay their future ambitions. Finally, one performer shouts "I don't wanna grow up!" The comical art is cheesy but features some good gags, including the mechanics behind the low-tech props used in the play.
