Good for a Giggle

Here's a book that's not what it looks like at first sight. The text gives a new twist to the question "what would you like to be if you were a grown up?" A flap on each page allows the illustrations to follow along with the surprises: "If I were a grown-up, I would like to be a doctor... TO ALIENS! A painter... OF MONKEYS!" and so on. The pictures are bright, colorful, and cleverly done; and it's fun to try to guess what oddity might be hiding behind the flap in the page. But the book is also quite short, and the element of surprise will be lost after the first reading. For under fives.
