Nicole Miller ，

I received an ARC from the publisher。 I’ll admit， this book is weird。 But its also awesome。 Plunger wants to be a vase and soon inspires other items in the home to embrace their dreams and be what they always wanted to be。 It’s silly， funny， absurd， and totally inspiring in the pursuit to be what makes you happy no matter what the vacuums of the world say。

I thought this was a sweet little story about a plunger who wants to be a vase。 They no longer want to plunge clogs， but hold flowers instead。 And in insisting on their right to change， they inspire others to be their true selves too。 It's a lovely message and the bold， bright， coloring and artwork makes it feel even more live-out-loud。 However， I don't entirely think the analogy works。 At one point Plunger says， "See？ Some of us don't like our jobs， so we change them！" And a job isn't an identi I thought this was a sweet little story about a plunger who wants to be a vase。 They no longer want to plunge clogs， but hold flowers instead。 And in insisting on their right to change， they inspire others to be their true selves too。 It's a lovely message and the bold， bright， coloring and artwork makes it feel even more live-out-loud。 However， I don't entirely think the analogy works。 At one point Plunger says， "See？ Some of us don't like our jobs， so we change them！" And a job isn't an identity， which is what the story is going for。 But I'm going to judge this one on intent and say that I liked it。 。。。more

Book provided by publisher in exchange for an honest reviewIn Julio Torres' I Want to Be a Vase， a plunger decides that they'd rather be a vase instead of a plunger。 This makes several other household items uncomfortable because traditionally， plungers have a very specific use in the bathroom and it's not to hold flowers。The vacuum makes the biggest stink and tells the plunger that it will never be anything more than a plunger。 Other household items start to chime in on wanting to be different， Book provided by publisher in exchange for an honest reviewIn Julio Torres' I Want to Be a Vase， a plunger decides that they'd rather be a vase instead of a plunger。 This makes several other household items uncomfortable because traditionally， plungers have a very specific use in the bathroom and it's not to hold flowers。The vacuum makes the biggest stink and tells the plunger that it will never be anything more than a plunger。 Other household items start to chime in on wanting to be different， like the pot who'd rather be a trashcan。This book shares a message that it's ok to be different and LBGTQ readers may find some comfort the story of a little plunger that just wants to be a vase。 I enjoyed the art in I Want to Be a Vase， illustrator Julian Glander brings into sharp focus the entire household and its occupants。 Purples and pinks bring to life all the characters and the details make this a great book for toddlers to point out items they recognize。Join the Books + Bliss Book community for reviews and GIVEAWAYS here: https://www。facebook。com/Bliss-Books-。。。 。。。more

Jasmine from How Useful It Is ，

A great read， this book just made me smile every time I read it because I smiled every time my toddler said she wanted to be a bookshelf。 It’s cute and unexpected at the same time。 I liked the plunger’s determination to be who it wanted to be despite the disagreement of others。 It can be a good reminders to young readers to be free to choose what they want to do or be when they grow up。 Even adults reading this book for their kids， this story can influence readers that a job isn’t set in stone。 A great read， this book just made me smile every time I read it because I smiled every time my toddler said she wanted to be a bookshelf。 It’s cute and unexpected at the same time。 I liked the plunger’s determination to be who it wanted to be despite the disagreement of others。 It can be a good reminders to young readers to be free to choose what they want to do or be when they grow up。 Even adults reading this book for their kids， this story can influence readers that a job isn’t set in stone。 They can always change it if they wanted to。 I liked the illustrations。 It’s different from what I’m used to。This book followed a plunger。 It wanted to be a vase。 All other items in the bathroom couldn’t believe the statement coming from the plunger。 They disagreed that it would be impossible。 The plunger explained that it’s a plunger now but it wanted to switch jobs to become a vase even though it wasn’t made to be a vase。 Then the plunger went on to prove everyone wrong。 It left the bathroom and went into the kitchen。 It held up flowers on its handle。 The pot was influenced by the plunger and wanted to be a trash can。 Then the coat rack wanted to be a toilet paper holder， a hair dryer wanted to be a vacuum cleaner， and etc。 At the end， there’s a surprise from the book！I Want to Be a Vase was a fun read。 How confusing would it be to have all household items started doing different jobs than they have been。 Though， it might not be impossible because I have used a cup to drink， as a vase， to hold new plants until the roots comes out， and to water my indoor plants sometimes。 The idea of this book was different and I enjoyed the read。 I’m not sure I agree with how the plunger should hold the flowers because there’s no place to hold water to keep it fresh， unless it’s holding up fake flowers。 The humor was good with different items in the house and their new job interests。 My toddler liked the opening of the story with the faraway view of tall buildings and then the close-up of the room and then the bathroom。 I recommend everyone to read this unique story！xoxo， Jasmine at www。Howusefulitis。com for more details Many thanks to SimonKids for the opportunity to read and review。 Please be assured that my opinions are honest。 。。。more
