It’s Gator’s first day at his new office job, and he is surrounded by quirky personalities like the slow slug, the obedient dog, the aggressive hawk, and the chatty chicken. He is eager to fit in with his new co-workers, so he tries to be like them. But acting like everyone else doesn’t work out for him, and he learns a valuable lesson about himself instead. Featuring hand-drawn illustrations, vibrant colors, and rhymes, Animals at the Office sparks dialogue regarding first-day jitters, fitting in with new crowds, and embracing one’s own special traits despite being surrounded by others who are different. Adults may relate to the featured characters based on their own experiences at an office and can use the book to talk more with children about their own job and what going to work means for them.

My Review
I chose to read this book after receiving a free copy. All opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased.
Such a colorful children’s book! Animals at the Office is about Gator and his first day working at an office. He tries to take advice from different employees and to be like them, but his boss tells him that he just needs to be himself. What a relief!
I read the hardcover and it’s about 9″ by 11 1/2″ so it’s perfect for reading to one or many children. The colors are vibrant and pop off the page. They’ll definitely keep a child’s interest. There’s not a lot of text but it’s cute and it rhymes.
Animals at the Office encourages children to be themselves and not try to be like everyone else. This is definitely a book that children will enjoy, and they’ll learn an important lesson at the same time!
