Ellie Mae is tasked with thinking about what she wants to be when she goes up. She dreams up fantastical ideas like pirate-dentist but just can’t decide!

A cute book! It is the more recent trend of digital art which I don’t enjoy as much for picture books, but still a cute book with a cute message!

This is a fun book that both my son and I enjoyed. He especially loved the pirate dentist. This book is a great way to help encourage children’s imaginations. The illustrations are colorful and engaging. The text is easy to understand. Definitely a fun book for young imaginations.

I received an electronic ARC from SOURCEBOOKS Kids through NetGalley.
Ellie Mae struggles with a class assignment. She needs to come dressed as what she wants to be when she grows up. Readers see her dream of all sorts of careers and not be able to choose one. Finally, she figures it out and surprises her class with her final choice. Detailed illustrations capture the joy of each career and the magic with the one she finally chooses. A family read to encourage readers who can't settle on one career for the future. McMorris encourages using their imagination as they think about the future.
