Goodreads
Coco is a dog with a special talent – he loves to cuddle. There are so many special talents and jobs that dogs have (such as herding, tracking, and rescuing). Coco is a therapy dog. When Coco goes out wearing his vest, he is ready to work and cuddle with whoever needs some extra love and support that day. This book is for any dog lover, and showcases the many exciting and different jobs that dogs have. The digital illustrations are fun and expressive. Diverse people and situations are shown throughout the book. While lacking back matter about service dogs, this would be a great stepping stone to a more in-depth lesson about service dogs. Recommended for ages 5 to 7 (Kindergarten to 2nd Grade).
