(4) PS Illustrated by Deirdre Betteridge. In brief, upbeat descriptions, children explain how their parents commute to work and what they do there. Jobs for fathers include dance teacher, homemaker, and farmer; jobs for mothers include company president, mail carrier, and salesperson. The mixed-media illustrations show the parents at work and--along with the refrain, "but there is always time for me"--at home, playing with the child. As a whole, text and illustrations are pleasant but repetitive.
