About this title

From the Author

I wrote this book because it's what my sisters and me did as children. We adored playing pretend jobs. I loved being a doctor and carrying a black bag and giving everyone injections (aka vaccinations). And when I grew up I wanted to be either:

• an actress-vet-doctor-writer
• or a horse (I galloped all over the forest making snorting sounds. oh dear.)

One of my sisters loved being a teacher--and putting us all in rows and making us "behave" and giving us homework and marking us. (She grew up to be a teacher--a brilliant wonderful one!)This book gets children laughing and chatting about what they want to be when they grow up.It's also a surprise hit with recent graduates who are needing some tips about the job-search and-- most important of all--need a bit of light relief given this job market...
