Ages 7 And Up, Grades 2 to 17

An illustrated non-fiction book for 7-9-year-olds that explores all the ways that animals are engaged in the world of work - whether it's for themselves or to help humans!


Animals are better at certain jobs than we are. Did you know that ferrets can be employed by electricians to safely lay cables in inaccessible areas? Or that bats can live in ancient libraries protecting the books from insects and other pests? Would you hang up a painting by a pig?

Get to know the different jobs that animals can have, from helping people as therapy pets, to crafty spywork, as you meet photographer pigeons, geese guards, post office cats and much more.
