When I Get Bigger By Mercer Mayer

The first thing I thought about when I read this book was how I would look for the mouse on every page of the Mercer Mayer books while growing up. I didn't remember reading this one as a child but it made me laugh. The things he mentions doing when he gets older such as "ordering something out of a catalog" aren't things I remember looking forward to as a child. Children have big imaginations so I'm sure there are some children who do look forward to things like this! My favorite page was when he says he will be able to stay up late enough to see the end of a movie and in the picture he can hardly keep his eyes open! The illistations are great in this book and are realistic to a home atmosphere.
