SPOILER: Bea, a Kindergartner, and her father, Mr. Jones, not happy with their lot in life, decide to trade places. We assume that they will learn the lesson of many other children's books: that you should be happy as you are. Instead, they find their true calling and enjoy their new careers. ( )

I'm rereading this to get ready for a first-day-of-Kindergarten program I'm doing; I'm so glad it's back in print. ( )

As a kid I loved the idea of trading places with an adult. ( )

This is just funny. Bea and her dad switch places - Bea goes to the office and he goes to kindergarten. And the cool part is, they both love their new roles and keep them - no great moral about how they miss their old lives. ( )
