• "A fun story to enjoy with an important lesson about peer-group pressure, real or imagined.  In a class by itself."  -William H. Weintraub, Professor, University of Colorado, School of Journalism and Mass Communications

•  "When I Grow Up I Want To Be...a Teacher! is a wonderful story about learning and teaching.  As a teacher myself, I value the way Carlee's dilemma allows her to actively engage with all she is learning on the first day of school.  Her story is one that will capture the imagination of young readers.  Parents will appreciate the emphasis on knowledge and the choices that Carlee considers.  History and science are conveyed in a fun and entertaining, as well as relevant, way." -Patricia O'Brien, Dean Emeritus of the College of Letters and Science, UCLA

•  "Great book. Great inspiration. Recommended for everyone who wants to grow up to be someone special, doing something worthwhile."  -Dr. Theresa Daem, Superintendent, Laguna Beach Unified School District (retired). Chairman, NASS, National Association of School Superintendents
