This book was a fun read for me, and the black and white illustration in this chapter book were not a distraction from what I was reading. The style of writing is fun, coming from an outside party (3rd person). Many books i have found come from the character's point of view, and it was refreshing finding a book with different writing style. This would be a good independent or read aloud book for a third grade class, sending a good message about being an inspiring author to the students.
I really enjoyed this book for children because it can show them that no matter how young you are, you can always start preparing for the future early. Student's should know that it is ok to be excited about a job they may be interested in at a young age. You are never to young to have a dream and make it happen.
