A little girl tells her mother all the things she will do when she's big, like helping the zookeeper clean the lions' and tigers' teeth, or swimming in the ocean with mermaids, or petting a polar bear. 

 The illustrations are full page watercolors, and there is a lot to see on each page. In her imagination there's this giant rabbit which is her toy IRL. It might be fun for the reader to spot it in the picture although it's usually with or near the little girl. A good story to use if talking about learning to be brave. The child and her mother are white
