DEBUT AUTHOR/ILLUSTRATOR: Caitlin is an exciting new talent
MULTIPURPOSE: This is a career book, an alphabet book, and a dress-up book all in one, with a wide and interesting variety of careers for young readers to explore as it supports several layers of early childhood learning.
HUMOR AND DETAIL: While the story is pretty straightforward, touches of humor (like one of the hairdressers cutting off too much, and a yoga-posing hamster) will delight sharp-eyed readers and make this title a favorite to reread.
“Diverse children act out 100 different careers, organized alphabetically from ’astronaut’ to ’Zumba instructor’…Readers will love choosing their favorite.”—Kirkus Reviews
“This alphabet of occupations and hobbies features a diverse cast of children, depicted in appealing panels, exploring jobs spanning from artist to zumba instructor…. Libraries and schools looking for distinct alphabet books, or ways to introduce various occupations will find this a pleasant addition.”—School Library Journal
“Artist, doctor, firefighter, plumber, chef, police officer, soldier, or teacher might appear on many children’s lists of potential adult jobs, but what about upholsterer, biochemist, zipper maker, mathematician, oil rigger, or yodeler? This charming occupational exploration ranges from the familiar to the fanciful (though all are actual jobs), suggesting many directions for children to consider…. The large variety of activities may provoke serious contemplation about future possibilities, while the funny situations on some pages keep the tone light.” —Booklist
