Each spread features a read-aloud poem and list hidden items. the rhyming verses are not great for bigger crowd, but perfect for cozier settings like cuddling on the couch!
The illustration covering the each spread is extremely detailed with tons of life and so much going on. The animals and their profession gain center stage as the various activities they perform are showcased in little sections spread across the two pages. Readers will get a kick out of the animals doing their “jobs” and other every day activities, such as bringing momma doe breakfast in bed, traveling to and from work, and building pillow forts.

The rhymes flow seamlessly and naturally right along with the joyful, visual moments. There’s a lovely sense of happiness and community, which is hard to miss. While the joy of living and working together comes across in each moment, readers also learn a bit about the various jobs people do and how they contribute to life and/or the community.
