Careers

Can you guess what job goes with the clothes hanging on the clothesline? How about straw hat, overalls, plaid shirt and bandanna, did you guess farmer?  Kathryn Heling and Deborah Hembrook have written a book that challenges preschoolers.  Andy Robert Davies’ illustrations wonderfully complement the writing. The authors did a good job with mixing genders of the occupations described i.e. female carpenter or astronaut and male artist or chef.  "Clothesline Clues to Jobs People Do" is a great choice for story time or learning about careers for the preschool set.

  

Get ready for giggles and moans while reading this entertaining book about "Working Mummies" by Joan Horton with illustration by Drazen Kozjan. The mummy’s jobs include manicurist, doctor, waitress, author, teacher, realtor and librarian. “This mummy’s a librarian. She has a great selection of rare and wiggly book worms in her specimen collection.” This book is a humorous choice for story time, career day or Halloween.
