The original edition and the one that covers all a four-year-old would ever ask about. How do trees get from the forest to furniture? How does hydro power make electricity and how does it get to us? All told and pictured with huge good humour and lots of jokes, but the pictures have enough detail to do the explaining. I chose this edition over the updated one which, admittedly, has female animals doing more different jobs, but cuts down on the information.

A childhood treasure
An excellent book. Not the exact edition I was looking for, but good enough.

UNabridged
Found at last an UNabridged copy of What Do People Do All Day? WHAT is Golden Books thinking, to abridge this classic for young children?!
