Jobs People Do
Ages 3-6. With big color photographs of smiling children dressed up as firefighter, ballet dancer, surgeon, lawyer, mail carrier, pilot, and many other kinds of workers, this large-size volume is a cheerful introduction to the world of work. Each page is about one trade or profession: a portrait of a child is the focus, and then there are facts about tools, equipment, and the workplace, with small, captioned pictures of adults on the job. The models are posed and self-consciously cute, but the cast is multicultural, the career choices are non-sexist (there's a waiteranda waitress), and girls and boys trying out various adult roles will find facts and images here to help them choose.Hazel Rochman
