How to Get a Job by Me, the Boss (How to)

How to Get a Job by Me, the Boss (How to) Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The know-it-all narrator from the New York Times Bestselling How to Be a Baby is back with the third book in the series. This time, she knows all about how to get a job, and she walks readers through the whole process: from deciding what you want to be all the way to acing the interview (tip: don't bring your pet gerbils). This book is sure to be a hit with kids who love to play pretend and dream about what they're going to be when they grow up.

Review:

"The wise-beyond-her-years heroine who addressed the finer points of getting married and having a baby in her previous books now tackles the job market. 'ometimes a Job is so you can get all dressed up and wear your new shoes to work,' she explains. The narrator covers big jobs (like 'President of the World') and small jobs (like 'Balloon Holder') alike, and is highly encouraging ('You could be a Cowboy or an Explorer.... Or actually anything you want!'), while giving a nod to a few exceptions ('you shouldn't be a Robber'). Heap's acrylic, paint, and crayon illustrations are as energetic and quirky as the Boss herself, whose charmingly askew perspective includes some genuine advice — and remains as funny as ever. Ages 4 — 8. (May)" Publishers Weekly Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
