While playing, a little girl imagines a number of different things she might grow up to be.Sheree Van Vreedere - Children's LiteratureAt some point in time, we all wonder what we will grow up to be. We imagine our lives and picture what our children and careers will look like. Interestingly, our dreams are never small. We see ourselves healing many people as a doctor or writing the Great American novel. We imagine what it will be like to fly through space or find a cure for cancer. Dreams to Grow On offers us the opportunity to follow one young girl's hope for the future as she pretends to be in many different professions. Through her eyes, we can see possibility and the excitement that the future can offer all children. The vivid, life-like illustrations do a remarkable job of making readers feel like they are a part of the story and like they are imagining alongside the girl. Told in rhyme, it is a great story to read aloud. Overall, this engaging book, with its dare-to-dream attitude, is a wonderful experience for all ages. 2002, Illumination Arts,
