When I Grow Up

(4) PS Illustrated by Steve Antony. Repetition in the lyrics to Minchin's song from the musical Matilda may make for a catchy chorus, but on a page in picture-book treatment, the repetition seems rather pointless: "When I grow up. When I grow up. When I grow up." Energetic illustrations of kids indulging their fantasies of adulthood convey some of the song's sweet childlike yearning.
