Little monster spends a day at work with his father. First he has to dress and choose a tie. Then he must endure the rush hour. At work he eats the biscuits at the meeting, colours in his father's graphs and goes to the canteen. After work, it's off to the gym and a drink before heading home. Clearly, his father has it easy! And tomorrow he's going to stay with his mum, who has it easy too. An excellent introduction to the working lives of adults, that children will find interesting.
