taken lightly. After all, a job is a BIG responsibility. But

ethic the way they should. Will Kingsley ever find a job that is
exactly right? A sweet, tender and deeply funny story about the
power of friendship, belonging, and one dog's mission to find the
perfect job.

discussion opportunities, this is a valuable addition to all
collections." School Library Journal Shortlisted for the Children's
Book of Australia Picture Book of the Year! "The humour will grab
children.... This is a simple, meaningful and visually stunning
book that reminds us all that what we look like on the outside
doesn't matter nearly so much as what we are like on the inside."
ReadPlus, highly recommended Is imitation the sincerest form of
flattery? Or is it just annoying? This hilarious read-aloud
explores every child's least favorite form of admiration: copying.
It also helps readers deal with the sensitive topics of conformity,
individuality, and belonging in an accessible, kid-friendly way.
Ultimately, setting boundaries should be empowering for kids, just
like it is for Norton.
