(4) K-3 Illustrated by Alexandra Boiger. A little girl dramatizes the advantages of bringing one's child to work (e.g., "Grown-ups love it when kids push elevator buttons for them"). While most of the winking humor is aimed at adults, kids will appreciate narrator Violet's self-assured presence. The mixed-media art sticks with a subdued palette, except for irrepressible Violet whose bright colors play up her unbusinesslike boisterousness.
