What Do You Do? is a storybook about people's jobs. It consists of rhyming couplets in which established Sesame Street characters and a host of Anything Muppets demonstrate assorted occupations, from towing trucks to serving pastry.
The book was reissued and updated in 1993, with identical text but new illustrations by Tom Cooke. While the original featured the likes of Granny Fanny Nesslerode and Rodeo Rosie, the later edition spotlighted the then-current Muppet cast. In particular, the closing page implies that "Emily Perl Kingsley" is, in fact, a pen name for Flo Bear, who claims that "I am a writer. I wrote this book!"
