Occupation

Doctors, teachers, firefighters and police officers arrive one page at a time in this padded board book for very young children. First Steps: Occupation pairs a bright illustration of each worker with a short line of text, so a toddler can point, name and slowly connect a job to the tools and uniform that go with it. Thick board pages and a cushioned cover stand up to repeated handling at story time. The short version: • Padded cover and thick board pages sized for small, unsteady hands • One profession per spread, shown with clear artwork and a simple label • Builds first vocabulary around community helpers and the work they do • Short enough to finish in a single sitting with a parent or carer Suited to toddlers and preschoolers beginning to talk about the world around them, and to nursery shelves that need hard-wearing titles.
