By William Bee (Jonathan Cape, hardback, £8.99 each)
Meet Stanley, an industrious little hamster who takes on a new job every day. The tools of his latest trade are set out at the start of the book before Stanley and his little friends, including mouse Charlie, set about their work. Then it is tea, bath and time for bed.
Children beginning to explore the world of work through their role play will love much about this series, especially Stanley.
