Review
Parents who dream about the future of their children will fall in love with The Wonderful Things You Will Be. Many little ones are depicted as they progress from infants to children performing a large variety of activities. This dream is universal as it views the children as kind, clever and bold; things all parents wish for their little ones. Surely the goodness of the children is expresses as they learn new skills, interact with others and try on adult personas. This title is truly wonderful, the richness of the art and the lilt of the rhyme makes it a winner for library shelves and as a gift. It is also worth noting that gender bias is avoided. The fold out pages will prove a problem for both libraries and families prepare by refilling the tape supply.
Consider as cream
