Sign in to write a reviewThis book is best read when the parent has time to pause and ask the child about the illustrations. It can be read cold, but it works best as a conversational tool. A parent might reach for this after hearing their child say 'I'm not good at anything' or after a preschool 'Career Day' event where the child felt unsure of their own interests.
For a 3-year-old, the book is a colorful catalog of fun 'costumes' and activities. For a 6 or 7-year-old, it becomes a mirror for their actual developing hobbies and a prompt to discuss what those jobs look like in the real world.
