If your hands can mix and mash, what job might you have?
Hands can wiggle, hands can clap.
Hands can wrap and flap and tap.
But hands can help--so raise yours, please!
Can you guess? Whose hands are these?
What if your hands reach, wrench, yank, and crank? The hands in this
book--and the people attached to them--do all sorts of helpful work. And
together, these helpers make their community a safe and fun place to
live.
As you read, keep an eye out for community members who make repeat
appearances! Can you guess all the jobs based on the actions of these
busy hands?
