Cute, funny, and educational.
This book goes through different jobs that people have to help care of animals of any variety from being a snake milker to a pet dentist. Some of the jobs I have heard of before that were just renamed to be funny and interesting, but others I have not. Its always a plus when I am reading my kids something and learn something myself.
My family loves to read things that are fun and educational and this book makes a good fit for us. Some of the jobs sound silly, some of them I have never heard of before, but for every job, the author provides a job description. The appearance is fun and bright and set up like a job search forum.
Thank you to Stepanka Sekaninova, Jakub Cenkl, Albatros Media, and NetGalley for allowing us to enjoy and review this book.
Read with my 7 year old who loves animals. There were many jobs described here that we've never heard of so that was really fun. The illustrations are beautiful and kept our attention. Will be reading again and again!
My kids absolutely LOVED this book! It was so cute and fun! We loved the adventure the characters took us on. The illustrations were really cute. I highly recommend adding this to your bedtime books.
Snake Milker and Other Animal Jobs is a picture book that takes you through all sorts of fun animal professions (some more likely to find in the real world than others lol).
The illustrations in this book were SO cute, & I was immediately drawn in by the adorableness of the animals. This isn't a book with a plot, just a list of animal professions. It is super fun though! I can see how little animal lovers would immediately fall in love with this one!
Thanks to NetGalley, Sepanka Sekaninova, and Albatros Media for the chance to read & review!!
This book is like a job posting board for people who like working with animals. It’s not very in depth, but definitely provides some interesting jobs that I had never heard of and my kids found highly entertaining. It would have been nice to see some real world examples or photos, but it was a cute read.
Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this fun title.

Super fun and cute book! I assume that all of the jobs in this book are legitimate professions, which makes this book both highly entertaining and educational. This book will no doubt keep kids entertained for hours. This is due to the author's fun and informal (in a good way) writing style, and the illustrator's attention to detail (ex. funny bits of dialogue or animals in the background doing things). Additionally, every page was organized very nicely. I didn't feel overwhelmed or uninterested at any point in the book, and I really enjoyed reading this book. "Snake Milker and Other Animal Jobs" will definitely inspire kids to become invested in animal-related jobs and will quickly become a favorite.
Bravo!
