In When I Grow Up by Al Yankovic and illustrated by Wes Hargis, little Billy faces the dreaded question during show-and-tell, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" However, I don't think Billy dreads this question as much as his classmates in this hilarious children's book by first-time author Al Yankovic. Instead, Billy poetically and long windedly tackles this question with some very crazy, but thoughtful answers.
Okay, I will admit, I am a "Weird All" fan and quite honestly, his book does not disappoint. It is filled with the same off-beat humor and subtle lessons that made many of his songs famous.
Favorite line: "Esteemed friends and colleagues and dear Mrs. Krupp, I know what I'm gonna be when I grow up..."
