26 WAYS TO BE SOMEBODY ELSE

A mere flip of the paint brush and the young man in this text assumes a variety of roles. At one moment he is a Yogi impaled on spikes, turn a page and he is a fireman, a jester, even an invisible man. This playful text with its bright illustrations introduces the child to a variety of occupations and in as simple a manner as possible provides concrete associations with which he can connect his new vocabulary. There is the element of game playing in this busy and engrossing little book. The twenty-six professions are listed here, in alphabetical order, an extra pedagogic boon, but chances are the child will be so delighted by the illustrations he will not realize to what extent he is being taught.
