Description

Little monster spends a day at work with his father, experiencing the adult world of work from a child's perspective. He dresses up, chooses a tie, commutes with his dad, eats biscuits at a meeting, colors graphs on the computer, has lunch at the canteen, and stops for a drink on the way home. Throughout the day, he believes his father's job is easy. Sarah Dyer's book, filled with humor and charm, offers an entertaining portrayal that appeals to both children and adults. Dyer is a rising picture-book star known for her previous works including the Smarties Award-winning Five Little Fiends, Clementine and Mungo, Princess for a Day, and Mrs Muffly's Monster.
