Occupations |
People all over the world have lots of different jobs. This book explores some of them, saying what they are and a brief description of what they involve.
This is a delightful book for preschoolers. At each turn of the page it has colourful pictures and interesting sounds.
Children do not need to be able to read, as the story is read to them. They can have fun clicking on the speaker icons to have the story reread and the sounds replayed.
Pages can be turned forwards and backwards by clicking on the turned corner at the bottom of the pages. Children can also use click and drag in the direction of the arrow. This makes the reader feel like they are turning the page of a real book.
To exit, click on the small hand in the upper right corner of the screen.

Discuss with children the occupations mentioned in the book. Do they know anyone whose job is the same as any of the characters? What do they think about the different jobs? Would they like to do any of them when they are older? What are the occupations of the people around them? Children may not know the proper names of particular occupations, but may be able to describe them.
The second to last page says, "What would you like to be when you grow up?" Ask children to have a think about this. It's a big question, but it may start them thinking about the pros and cons associated with what people do for a living.
