Reviews
PreSchool-Grade 2–Lulu wants a really big job when she grows up. Her mother offers some possibilities: Lulu could look after a baby, hold a party, or wash an elephant. Then the woman suggests teacher, doctor, nurse, or big-rig driver. Lulu rejects all of those options and asks, Mommy, what's...the biggest job you know? Her response is, taking care of your brother and you. Lulu decides that she wants to be a mommy. As an afterthought, the child does ask, …could I also be an author, just like you? which slightly redeems this disappointingly predictable, clichéd tale. Browne's appealing, double-page cartoon watercolors depict happy domestic scenes. This book will have a following, but complement it with a reading of Barbara Cooney's delightful Miss Rumphius (Viking, 1982) for a more balanced worldview.–Be Astengo, Alachua County Library, Gainesville, FL
