Overview / 简介: |
What are you going to be when you grow up?
"What are you going to be when you grow up?" is probably the most often asked question of a child, but it has NEVER been answered like this before! A fun-filled romp through one boy's dreams of all the things he will be reveals endless possibilities - each more enticing than the next. A cowboy? A dentist? A zookeeper? A bricklayer? Filled with the whimsical, fresh style that has made Sandy Turner an international sensation, Grow Up is a delight for the eyes and a feast for the imagination.

| Grade 1-5-A man asks a child, "What are you going to be when you grow up?" and the youngster's imagination runs wild as he considers an array of possibilities: a nurse, a numerologist, a lion tamer, a submarine commander, and a pollution stopper, among others. The unique illustrations and page design propel this fairly mundane subject into an entirely new realm of zaniness. Using clever composition and a well-developed wit, Turner interprets each occupation with pencil sketches masterfully accented with color details and collage surprises. Career choices frequently combine into tiny comical vignettes, as when fireman meets chef and, with a blast from the former's hose, extinguishes the latter's flaming dish. The child grows large when he mentions his apparent favorite choice-a basketballer-but his relatively small size is reinstated at the end when the adult sensibly concludes: "-YOU HAD better EAT UP your GREENS." Readers will enjoy the unfinished aspects of Turner's sketches, and the invitation to inspect a line that is not completely erased, or the artist's color palette. From the author's inked footprint on the opening page to the witty back flap, this is a delightfully sophisticated gem with broad appeal.

Great Punchline
The kind of book that makes an ideal graduation present as well as an entertaining book at bedtime read for the child in us all.
