So You Want to Be a Rock Star
"Air guitarists, rejoice! A delightfully snark-free guide to how kids can release their inner spotlight-loving performer. The low-tech premise--you can still rock with a mop on your head and family members as backup singers--is refreshing and the book's self-esteem boost is in tune with an American Idol era." - Publishers Weekly"A  wicked good time. Kids will giggle with grown-ups at the appropriately over-the-top plans for super-stardom (a TV show, a "you-movie" and a theme song) that are translated into actions younger ones can practice or participate in. Great for a rocking storytime and budding performers of all kinds. Encore!" -Kirkus*Both author and illustrator are on top of their games as they bring this inspiring story to life.

SLJ on Vernick's Is Your Buffalo... the base-level implausibility of this book should add some laughs while reassuring children that they are, in fact, ready for the big leap into school.
