Something is not quite right with these outfits. Can you help fix them?
This funny, interactive picture book invites kids ages 3 to 6 to solve a series of silly mix-ups by matching the right clothes and accessories to the right jobs. A chef shows up in a tutu, a firefighter wears a fancy suit, and a ballerina tries to dance in hiking boots. On every spread, young readers are encouraged to look closely, laugh at the mix-ups, and decide what each character should really be wearing to do their job.
Perfect for curious preschoolers, this playful book turns learning into a game. As kids help thirteen zany professionals get dressed correctly, they build observation, problem-solving, and early decision-making skills while learning about clothing, accessories, and everyday professions. With bright, humorous illustrations and simple questions woven throughout, this book is ideal for shared reading, classroom activities, or independent exploration.

Selected for The Children’s Book Council’s March 2024 “Hot Off The Press” Reading List
"Majova's illustrations have a goofy, angular aspect to them reminiscent of pictures by Sid Fleischman or Tony Ross and Quentin Blake. This makes the inappropriate gear seem even funnier. It is never too early to encourage young readers to explore the world of work! I'm a big fan of exposing children to a wide variety of employment opportunities." —Karen Yingling, YA Books Central
"I can imagine young kids going through this book time and again, poring over the pictures of people in the wrong work clothing and marveling over new things they notice each time they look. I love the message of this book, about how the utility of clothing changes depending on what you want to do. Jana Sedlackova shows with humor, accuracy and energy how a mask suitable for the opera will not protect a firefighter, and how hiking boots, while sturdy and practical for many things, won't help a ballet dancer get through her performance. Each page spread gives the humorous depiction of a person wearing a wildly inappropriate selection, and on the other side is a labeled collection of what that person would wear, plus the equipment they'd use. A nice book that will be enjoyed by a wide variety of children." —Marsha, NetGalley-Reviewer
"This would be good to have at a home library or a book for kids to read for fun in the classroom." —Christine R., Netgalley-Educator
"How unique and intriguing! I’ve never seen an interactive book where the young reader gets to pick out proper clothing for various occupations! As an adult, even I had fun looking through the options to pick out the appropriate gear to fit each situation. The crazy outfits each person starts with are humorous and readers get a chance to explore various activities shown. This would be a good gift for a young child as there’s the ability to actually write in the book if you own it."—Netgalley-Librarian
