Animals with surprising jobs

From ferrets helping electricians lay cables to bats protecting library books from pests, this illustrated nonfiction book introduces real-world roles animals can take on. Its examples range from therapy pets and geese used as guards to pigeons working as photographers and cats in post offices, connecting animal abilities with practical tasks people need done. The varied jobs give the subject a broad scope, combining familiar forms of assistance with less expected applications, including spywork.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children curious about animals and the different ways they interact with people
  • Young readers interested in unusual jobs and animal abilities

Book overview

Animals are better at certain jobs than we are. Did you know that ferrets can be employed by electricians to safely lay cables in inaccessible areas? Or that bats can live in ancient libraries protecting the books from insects and other pests? Would you hang up a painting by a pig?

Get to know the different jobs that animals can have, from helping people as therapy pets, to crafty spywork, as you meet photographer pigeons, geese guards, post office cats and much more.
