"Paul and Powell have created an interactive rhyming gem. . . . A
well-organized and attractive look at careers."—School Library
Journal
"Care has been taken to ensure that people of all ages, races, and
genders are depicted doing the work. . . . [T]he text is
linguistically complex and fun, helping readers to build vocabulary
with words associated with the professions. . . . An engaging,
well-executed resource."—Booklist

opportunity to guess what community jobs people do . . . [f]rom the
commonplace to those that rarely appear in picture books. . . . A
great addition to libraries' and teacher's shelves for units on
community helpers."—Kirkus Reviews
