Fox on the Job

A parent might reach for this book when their child is first learning about work or is feeling discouraged after failing at something new. Fox needs a job, so he tries his paw at several, with hilariously disastrous results. He crashes as a bike messenger, makes a mess as a sign painter, and mixes up pizzas. This book gently explores themes of resilience and perseverance through pure comedy. For ages 5 to 8, its simple chapters and laugh-out-loud humor make it an excellent choice to show that it’s okay to not be perfect, and that finding what you love might take a few funny tries.
