(4) K-3 Illustrated by Sue Heap. In this successor to two other How to... books, the narrator, a "Super-Ballerina-Soccer-Mermaid-Fairy Princess," introduces a wealth of professions. The joke--basically the narrator's serious articulation of silly ideas ("You shouldn't EVER bite the Boss when he is talking to you")--goes on a little long, but there are lots of funny moments. Heap's vignettes of kids demonstrating the jobs are entertaining.
