Work: An Occupational ABC

40 pp. | Groundwood | August, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-1-55498-409-1 $16.95 | Ebook ISBN 978-1-55498-410-7
(4) K-3 Each letter of the alphabet stands for a different job in this stylish book. The occupations range from familiar (butcher, postal worker, quarterback) to obscure (vibraphonist, xenologist). While it's hard to warm up to the faceless if well-composed digital illustrations, the variety of careers is diverting. "Want Ads" at the end, offering pun-filled descriptions for each occupation, will most likely appeal to adults.
