It is designed for interactive reading where parents can pause and ask the child if they would like to try the job Florence is currently exploring. A parent might reach for this after hearing their child say, "I don't know what I want to be," or conversely, after seeing their child become intensely focused on a single dream and wanting to show them other options.
For a 3-year-old, the book is about the fun of the different costumes and animals. A 6-year-old will begin to connect the roles to their own blossoming interests and the concept of their future self.
