Amazing Animals with Astonishing Jobs

English

By (author): Simon Philip

Illustrated by: Adam Ming

A funny and fascinating guide to the world of working animals  packed with astonishing facts!

Is your doctor a donkey? Is your postman a platypus? Probably not, that would be . . . amazing! But bee-lieve it or not, many animals do have jobs. Get ready for a whirlwind tour around the globe where you'll meet some of those amazing animals and learn all about the incredible jobs they do from bomb-sniffing bees and detector dolphins to caddy llamas and the bodega cats of New York City. 

Readers will discover:

  • The role of therapy animals in helping people feel more calm in airports (including LiLou San Fransiscos superstar therapy pig!)
  • How llamas can help golfers get around the course (without ever leaving a mess behind!)
  • How bees can be trained to detect illnesses (Un-bee-lievably!)
  • And much, much more!

Simon Philips witty, fact-filled text pairs perfectly with Adam Mings captivating contemporary art, making this book the perfect gift for any child who loves animals.

About Simon Philip

Simon was born in Chichester in 1988 and has lived there ever since although he occasionally leaves to buy milk. After gaining a 1st class degree in History at Exeter University he immediately put his skills to good use working as a barman at a local pub. He soon grew tired of the owner calling him Andy and so naturally decided to become a primary school teacher. Teaching rekindled his love of children's literature particularly picture books so much so that he had a go at writing his own. Deciding he was better at writing stories for children than he would ever be at teaching them he made a swift exit from education to live the cliché of the writer who works in a bar. He hopes that one day he'll be able to give up writing stories and become a barman full-time.
