As a kid I would have been really into the Cousteau book!
ReplyDeleteGreat take on the prompt! These covers are all so eye-catching and many of them adorable 😍
ReplyDeleteI always loved the title of that John Lewis book because, as a child, I was in charge of the chickens on our farm and though I never preached to them, I certainly tried to organize them for very unchickeny activities. Conclusion: Chickens, when allowed, will always be chickens and not characters in some human-planned scheme.
ReplyDeleteI love that you chose books geared for children!!
ReplyDeleteYou found a bunch of good books for this.
ReplyDeleteThese are so fun and eclectic!
ReplyDeleteThat was fun, and Professional Crocodile definitely made me laugh.

ReplyDeleteHow sweet, Deb. I love children's books, just the illustrations are so sweet. And then the titles. And there are so many with occupations. I had found quite a few, as well. But in the end I went to the more obscure jobs.
