Wigu Publishing When
I grow up I want to be…a Teacher 60 pgs. Wigu Publishing, 2013. $12.99.
Content: Language: G (0 swears); Mature Content: G Violence: G.
Carlee wants to
be a teacher, but then her mom starts to teach at her school, she is worried
others students will make fun of her or dislike her because of how they feel
about her mom. She starts to think about other professions. By the end of the
day she will find out what everyone thinks of her mom, and how she has let peer
pressure color her decisions.
When I want a
career book for the library, I want it to play up what makes that job unique
and interesting. This book title is very misleading. The plot is more about
peer pressure, but the story to get there is very convoluted. As the main
character considers other jobs, there are inserts, as if from a boring
textbook, about a variety of topics, ugh! The illustrations are sort of hideous
and creeped me out Big Time.
