A playful introduction to careers in a community, that’s also a rhyming picture book guessing game! Perfect for kids interested in different professions around town.

Who wears what to work? The clues in each kid-friendly rhyme can be spotted hanging from the clothesline—from a mail carrier’s uniform to a firefighter’s pants and heavy coat. Then turn the page to learn which professionals wear and use the special gear in the jobs they do. Clever illustrations show the workers helping one another, and in the end, everyone comes together for a celebration that is out of this world.
