The mother-daughter team of Anne and Lizzy Rockwell (Thanksgiving
Day, 1999, etc.) presents their fourth visit to Mrs. Madoffs busy,
bright, and active classroom. Today is career day, when students
bring special visitors to school to talk about their work. It may
be scary for a child to introduce his or her guest, but the
first-person narrator does a fine job of introducing his
bulldozer-driving dad, Mr. Lopez. Charlies visitor is his mom, a
judge; Kates dad plays bass in an orchestra at night, practices,
and handles child-care during the day, while his wife works in a
bank. The multicultural class meets a writer, a paleontologist, a
school-crossing guard, a nurse, a veterinarian, a sanitation
worker, a carpenter, a grocery store manager, and even a student
teachers college professor. A full-page illustration shows each
worker on the job; smaller details facing these pages introduce
them and their host children to readers as well as to the rest of
Mrs. Madoffs class. A sparkling, family-centered, no-threat
introduction to considerations of what might be fun for little ones
to do when they grow up. (Picture book. 2-5) (Kirkus Reviews)
Jessica's mother is a veterinarian. Pablo's father is a construction worker. Michiko's mother writes books. What kinds of work do people you know do?
On Career Day the children in Mrs. Madoff's class take turns introducing special visitors. Every visitor has something interesting to share, and together the class learns all about the different work people do.
In the fourth Mrs. Madoff book, Anne and Lizzy Rockwell revisit Mrs. Madoff's class as they help young readers explore the question, "What do you want to be when you grow up?"
