Odd Jobs by Roger Priddy

Add a dash of dress-up fun to learning with Odd Jobs, a novelty board book featuring funny animal characters and a different job theme on each spread. Toddlers spin the turn-wheels to select the outfit for each character—be it a sailor, judge, chef, or more—and can mix and match for silly combinations like a clown-wigged sailor or a tennis-skirted chef.

Featuring playful rhymes and adorable artwork, this book encourages imaginative play, early familiarity with professions, and interactive reading time. It’s perfect for storytime, classroom sharing, or as a lighthearted gift.
