K-3Our Neighborhood series.
Photographs by
Romie Flanagan.
These books are simple, informative introductions to different occupations: pet store manager, optician, kindergarten teacher, baker, and auto mechanic. Posed, full-color photographs show the daily activities involved in each career. While the volumes fail to bend gender stereotypes (the kindergarten teacher is a woman, and the mechanic is a man), they do feature men and women of different ethnicities.
