Several well-known and a few unique animal professions brighten each page and are sure to make readers smile.

This is a bright and energetic guide into the world of professions surrounding animals. First, there's a short, one-page introduction to get readers into the theme, and then, the parade of professions begins. Each page (and sometimes, two) holds the name of the profession at the top, a one-liner to grab attention, and then a couple paragraphs, which describe the basics of the job and it's purpose. Surrounding this are a few fun phrases and a bit of humor to guarantee smiles.

This is a fun and informative book, which will grab more than just animal fans' attentions. While there are some familiar jobs (dog walker), there are also ones which will surprise such as Baby Ostrich Sitter. It expands horizons in an entertaining way and will probably have some readers running off to share some of the information with others. The illustrations add to the atmosphere and also help with clarification.

It's an enjoyable book which balances humor and information in an entertaining way.
