Description
Book SynopsisA fun and magical tour of the world of working with animals, with Billie and their very silly pet cat, Mia!
Does your child love animals? Do they think that they might want to work with animals one day when they are grown up? Help your child to find out about all sorts of animal-related jobs that people do.
Billie has a very special dressing up box. When they choose an outfit from the box, they are whisked away to meet all sorts of people doing all kinds of amazing job. In Working with Animals, Billie and Mia meet a vet, a mounted police officer, an ornithologist, a bee keeper, a wildlife film-maker, a zoologist and many more. Together, they find out lots of interesting things about the STEM skills these people use to do their jobs. (And be sure to take a close look to see what naughty and silly things Mia gets up to in the funny illustrations.)

It's designed to help young children to think not only about the job that they might want to do in the future, but to be inspired by the world of work that is happening all around them. Each book concludes with a spread to encourage children to research the topic further through fun activities.
