Description

Joe the Fisherman is the first book of the series 'What Do the Grown-Ups Do?' The stories are based on life in the north-west Highlands of Scotland in a village called Badaneel and follow three local girls as they investigate the world of grown-up jobs. Designed for children aged 5-10 years, their aim is to help children understand different jobs and educate them about working life in a light-hearted manner. Whilst in story format, they are also factual, based on a real place, written about real people. Joe the fisherman lives next door. A great strong man with a cheeky grin, Joe has fished for prawns all his life, just like his father before him. Joe the Fisherman tells of Joe's life aboard and the pros and cons of being at sea. Like many of the local creel fishermen, they fish using sustainable techniques. Joe tells the girls how to stop catching crabs in their lobster pots, how to prepare bait and how to maintain the creels. Other books in the series include: Papa the Stockfarmer, Sean the Actor, Fiona the Doctor andRichard the Vet. "My children constantly ask, 'What do the grown ups do at work?' It was this interest that sparked the idea for the books. Whilst they love to play, they are equally eager to tag along with the adults, learning new things," says Mairi, about her inspiration for the series. "I thought it would be useful to educate them about the workplace and broaden their ideas for their life ahead. Although the message is educational, it is designed to be fun too," she said.

What do the grown-ups do?
Joe the Fisherman
Utterly charming, full of facts and a great career guide.
Tony Boullemier, author of The Little Book of Monarchs.
An informative and fun way to introduce your children to the world of living.
Gordon Buchanan, Wildlife film maker (BBC Springwatch, Autumnwatch, The Polar Bear Family and Me).
What a refreshing and innovative way of introducing children to career possibilities in later life. A delightful series of books which gently guides younger children through the adult world of work. The accompanying photographs of the main characters bring the lives of Joe the Fisherman, Fiona the Doctor and Papa the Stock Farmer, to life.
Louise White, Broadcaster.
Really detailed and informative books, which contain exactly the questions that intelligent children ask, and adults are often unable to answer. There is fun, humour and a wonderful sense of place too.
Dr Ken Greig, Rector, Hutchesons Grammar School.
As an educator in the US there is more and more stress placed upon children being able to access non-fiction writing. Within her books, Mairi McLellan has done something many children s authors are unable to do: she has created non-fiction books that are compelling and highly readable. May all of children s non-fiction literature begin to engage students as McLellan s books do. If this is a new trend in children s books, teachers across the US would be so grateful.
Marlene Moyer, 5th 6th Grade teacher, Nevada, USA.
