What if dogs were the ones to go to work each day while the humans stayed home? “Dogs at Work” explores this very idea while also featuring some very real jobs that dogs do for us every day!

There are times when it is difficult to tell whose perspective the text is coming from–human or dog, but overall this is a cute introduction to working dogs that will invariably lead to lots of discussion and further investigation. The end of the book contains information about the real dogs who complete the jobs mentioned throughout as well as resources for more information. The illustrations have a very classic, vintage feel to them which will delight young and old readers alike.

Ages 4-8
