First sentence: Today in school, Madame Gazelle asks the children what they would like to be when they grow up. She has a basket full of fun hats for them to choose from. The children are so excited to dress up! They run to the basket and each grap their items.
Premise/plot: Madame Gazelle is asking her students what they want to be when they grow up. Each student uses props--costumes--to answer the question. They also give their reasons WHY they want to be whatever it is. Madame Gazelle is surprised by one common thread their answers share.
My thoughts: I like this one. I don't remember seeing an episode like it. Is it possible I haven't seen every episode of Peppa Pig?! Or is it possible Scholastic is publishing an original story starring Peppa Pig?!
Peppa Pig unlike her classmates does NOT know what she wants to be when she grows up. She does NOT find the answer in a costume trunk. She does spend time thinking about it and not just going with what first pops into her mind.
George has an answer--impractical though it may be--a dinosaur, of course.
I like that every character's impression is that all grown-ups get to tell people what to do. That is what being grown-up is all about.
