(3) PS Illustrated by Andy Robert Davies. In this clever rhyming guessing-game book, clothes and objects on a clothesline are clues to the owner's occupation: "Space suit and jet pack, / star charts to review. / Flight gloves and moon boots. / What job does she do?" Recurring characters and a bright palette adorning clean yet detailed compositions will engage readers until the end: "Is one of these jobs / just right for you?"
