Work: An Occupational ABC

Author: Kellen Katanaka
Illustrator: Kellen Katanaka
Publisher: Groundwood Books, House of Anansi Press
Recommended Age Range: 3 to 7

There are lots of ABC books for children, and many about careers, but what about combining them into one brilliant book? Lucky for us, Kellen Katanaka has done just that in Work: An Occupational ABC. From aviators through zookeepers, children are introduced to a variety of common, and not-so-common (vibraphonist), jobs. Terrific illustrations, with creative placement of each letter, showcase professions to their fullest. Your child may have an interesting answer for those who ask: “What do you want to be when you grow up?” after reading this one. ☺
