Shapes. You’ve heard of them. You might have even interacted with a few. But do you really know them? From plucky Plunger, who wishes to defy his shape and become a beautiful vase, to other household objects with dreams of a life beyond their predestined roles, I Want to Be a Vase takes readers on an essential and visually stunning journey through the lives and intimate dramas of often-overlooked household appliances.

Reviews:

“I love this strange and brilliant book, which made me identify with a toilet plunger.”

—Mindy Kaling, #1 New York Times bestselling author

 

“This book is such a delicious feast for the eyes. It makes me want to be a refrigerator so I can store the leftovers!”

—Bowen Yang, actor, Saturday Night Live

 

“I’m deeply jealous of all the children who get to read this book. This is my villainous origin.”

—Aidy Bryant, actor, Saturday Night Live and Shrill

Review

I read I Want to be a Vase to my preschooler who thought it was silly and she laughed at the antics of the plunger, as well as the vacuum featured. The illustrations remind us of Ikea. Each member of the household decides they want to break out of their normal use and find something else to be. With lots of colors and funny conversations, the book held a child’s interest and is a lighthearted read aloud.
