Mumii 8
We are looking for 3 families with children who love books. You need to have at least one child aged between 5 and 10 years old and be willing to review a series of books for us. The series is called 'What do the grown-ups do?' by Mairi McLellan. Each family will receive a bundle of books from this range for their children to either read themselves or to enjoy with their parents.

The new series, What do the grown-ups do? help to answer many of those difficult questions for both parents and children. As parents, most of worry about whether we are giving our kids the right balance. We want to provide for them, but we don’t want to spoil them. We want them to enjoy playing, but we also want to encourage a good work ethic. For the children, who see their parents working, be it at home or in the office, they are constantly asking ‘Why you are so busy’, ‘Why do you have to work’, ‘Why can’t you stay and play?’ They have an insatiable and wonderful thirst for knowledge and understanding.
Enter What do the grown-ups do? This series is designed to educate children about the workplace, and is unique in that it is written through the eyes of the children, keeping the tone chatty and light-hearted. In each book, the children meet different workers who explain their jobs. The accompanying photos help keep even the younger age group interested. The age group is 5-10 years as the books aim to encourage a good work ethic as early as possible. The author states that children aged 5-7 will be challenged and need read to in smaller chunks, but the older age group manage themselves. You will be surprised how much they enjoy these educational books that teach them about the real world.
The series includes:
• Joe the Fisherman
• Papa the Stockfarmer
• Sean the Actor
• Fiona the Doctor
• Richard the Vet
• Gordon the Wildlife Filmmaker (published Feb 2015)
