From the publisher

A must-have for any nursery! If Animals Went to Work is another charming picture book in the bestselling If Animals Kissed Goodnight series that reimagines animals as community helpers - making it a perfect read aloud for aspiring doctors, teachers, or firefighters. What if animals did what YOU do? Mail carrier Kangaroo would carry cards and packages in her pouch. Librarian Owl would read books aloud. And Snake would rat-rattle to let everyone know about the wet cement and construction zone in the road. Featuring playful rhymes and adorable art, little ones can see how creatures, great and small, support their community. Families will giggle along as they imagine the critters that inhabit places near and far. A wonderful gift for babies and toddlers!
