David Chuka has come upon a strong idea for teaching children about career options while at the same time teaching them respect for those in authority who are there to help them.  The book is an easy to process experience - it is a combination of photographs of real people along with illustrations of the career concept (fine illustrations are by Joel).  This may not seem important at first glance, but to a child's eye seeing a drawn/painted illustration of an idea and then seeing a photographic representation of the real thing is a strong learning aide.The careers presented are doctor, rock star, waiter, taxi driver, diver, banker, veterinarian and teacher.  It seems very simple on the surface, but this little book will hold a child's attention, encourage reading skills, and teach about the world encountered outside the home.  It is a very strong work.
