Gigi the giraffe and Zachary the zebra are off on an
adventure, searching for the perfect career, each double
page spread showing a different occupation, a series of
seek-and-find games. These gaily colored illustrations offer
a humorous view of the world of choices for the future,
identifying occupations and the objects associated with
each, a variety of multi-dimensional careers.
Explore a myriad of possibilities, drawings of the many
facets of life, choices of employment, both white and blue
collar and the tools of the trades. A teacher nestled in her
classroom, surrounded by items for a child to pick out and
identify, a globe, library, map, slide, storyteller; or the
service station, featuring a gas attendant, truck driver,
vending machine and hydraulic lift.
On the construction site, find a carpenter, a construction
worker, crane, crane operator and a roofer. There is a
hospital, with a doctor, laboratory, operating room, scale,
test tube and more. Visit a book publisher, construction
site, fancy hotel, shopping mall, supermarket, even a rocket
launching at the space center.
The illustrations are primary colored and quirky, humorously
drawn in a style that stimulates a child's inherent
curiosity. The search-and-find concept challenges children
to choose correctly, identify objects and become acquainted
with new words on each page.
Bright and energetic, this book promises hours of fun for
parents and children alike. Published by Chronicle Books,
Gigi and Zachary Go to Work enjoys the same quality as the
other Chronicle titles, full of ideas, the perfect gift for
a favorite child. The book is labeled ages 9-12, but younger
readers will enjoy this format as well, encouraged to
increase their vocabulary and interest in reading,
connecting the images with the words that identify them, a
clever way to contemplate a future with no restrictions,
when a child can be anything he imagines.
