SynopsisGrammy Award winner and pop culture icon "Weird Al" Yankovic delivers his first picture book, bringing his trademark wit, wordplay, and silliness to a story that explores the timeless question "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Funny and charming, this is a celebration of creativity and possibility. An Amazon Best Book of the Month! "The farce and parody make this a rare book with appeal to both kids and adults" (Booklist). It's Show-and-Tell time in Mrs. Krupp's class, and Billy just can't wait for his turn! Today the class is discussing what they want to be when they grow up, and our exuberant eight-year-old hero is bursting to tell everyone about his future career plans. In dazzling wordplay and delicious rhymes, Billy regales his patient teacher and amazed classmates with tales of the variety of careers he wants to pursue--each more outlandish and wildly imaginative than the last!, Grammy Award winner and pop culture icon "Weird Al" Yankovic delivers his first picture book, bringing his trademark wit, wordplay, and silliness to a story that explores the timeless question "What do you want to be when you grow up?"

In dazzling wordplay and delicious rhymes, Billy regales his patient teacher and amazed classmates with tales of the variety of careers he wants to pursue--each more outlandish and wildly imaginative than the last, 'Cause maybe I'll be a gorilla masseuse Or an artist who sculpts out of chocolate mousse Or a rodeo clown or a movie director Or maybe professional pickle inspector... Billy's classmates may have never considered careers in snail training or sumo wrestling before, but by the time the exuberant eight-year-old is done cataloging his dream jobs, they just might share his belief in unlimited potential! Virtuoso wordplay, irresistible rhythm, and laugh-out-loud humor abound in the first picture book by the one and only "Weird Al" Yankovic. This unbridled celebration of creativity and possibility invites readers of all ages to consider afresh what they want to be when they grow up.

My Favorite Children’s Book
This is an adorable picture book, I used to love to read it aloud when I taught preschool. When I Grow Up, by musician Al Yankovic, has a clever story and fantastic rhyme scheme. It’s funny for both children and adults. I bought a copy for each of the kids in my family, and I hope they love it as much as I do.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Weird Al never disappoints.
Whether he's writing a parody or a book, the master never fails to entertain. My wife loved it, my child loves it and so do I. As long as one is ok with a play on words innuendo the book will be a great story for kids. The innuendo is as follows "Master Debater."Verified purchase: Yes
