"When I Grow Up" is a charming picture book adaptation of Tim Minchin's popular song from "Matilda The Musical." It invites young readers to ponder the perceived freedoms and joys of adulthood from a child's innocent and often hilarious perspective. The narrative, complemented by Steve Antony's engaging illustrations, explores themes of imagination, independence, and the simple pleasures children believe grown-ups enjoy, like eating sweets and staying up late. This book is perfect for sparking conversations about aspirations and the differences between childhood and adult life, making it a wonderful read-aloud experience for children aged 4-11, with a bonus CD featuring Minchin's performance.
This hugely exciting picture book collaboration by internationally celebrated musician-comedian Tim Minchin and award-winning illustrator Steve Antony is an absolute treat for all ages. Inspired by Tim Minchin's hit song WHEN I GROW UP from MATILDA THE MUSICAL, the book takes a humorous yet moving look at adult life from a child's perspective. The book comes with a high-quality CD with WHEN I GROW UP performed by Tim Minchin. Grown-ups surely have all the fun as they must eat sweets every day, climb the biggest trees and watch cartoons till their eyes go square. But do they really...' A truly magical picture book by two incredible talents.
