I Can Be Anything!

by Jerry Spinelli
Illustrated by Jimmy Liao

     

 

"When I grow up,
what shall I be?"

That’s the question a little boy poses to a bunny wearing a blue hat. Throughout the pages of this book, with vivid illustrations and large, colorful words, he offers up his own suggestions in rhyme.

Deep-hole digger
Lemonade swigger

The deep hole is actually colorful rocks with a determined little boy digging, an odd looking dog watching and little bunnies helping. The lemonade page has a huge lemon with the little boy sitting on top, drinking a pitcher of lemonade and rabbits tapping the lemon for more... And the busiest pages are the last, as they extend out and show what the little boy really wants to do when he grows up. With brightly painted illustrations and big, colorful words, little readers won’t turn away from this one. It’s imaginative and fun.
