Customer Reviews

If I could rate this book any higher I would

The best childrens book are not only for children, but also for the adults that read them. This book crossed my desk while I was the editor of Surprises Magazine. I have yet to find its equal.The book's story and illustration are charming and whimsical. Anyone who has ever asked (or still asks) the question "What should I do when I grow up?" will love the story. "As you know, every year on this same exact day, His Highness requests in the same exact way that each child in the kingdom aged seven and eight state their plans for the future before it's too late."And so the story begins...Everyone is able to state their plans, except for one Eric Van Noodle. You will enjoy the rhyme and rhythm of this book, the colorful illustrations, and the story and it's unexpected outcome. My son enjoys the book almost as much as I do.I might also add that the book makes a wonderful gift for your adult friends. After reading it I bought 3 copies to give as gifts. Everyone loved it!

BEST BOOK EVER!!!

THIS BOOK IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST BOOK EVER!! ARLEN COHN WILL BE THE NEXT DR. SUESS!! THE PICTURES ARE WONDERFUL! IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THIS BOOK, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? GO AHEAD, YOU'LL LOVE IT! :o)

It's Great! (but I'm not unbiased)

The story's terrific - The pictures are great. As a whole I would say it is surely first rate! A selection by edict - a wonderful ruse- It keeps your suspense - just what will Eric choose? My recommendation? - Buy this book - none other! But of course I would say that - the author's my brother.

Very creative & talented first published book- Must read!

We went to Barnes & Nobles Storybook Harvest and listened to some authors' reading of their works. I was really impressed that Cohn he has shown such talents, creativity and imagination in his first children's book. I love the fun in the story, the creative story and choice of words.The book is about choosing what you would like to be when you grow up. I have a 5 year old who loves me to read the book many times over. It's a book for second graders. Kate Anderson.
