Our Review
Follow Bulldog as he explores different workplaces in this charming career exploration story that introduces young readers to various jobs and community helpers. Through his visits to a fire station, bookstore, sign shop, and window washing company, children get an inside look at how different professionals spend their days and what makes each occupation unique. The detailed illustrations are packed with countless objects that invite close examination and repeated readings, while the simple, accessible text keeps the story moving at an engaging pace.
What makes this workplace adventure particularly effective is how it validates following one's passions rather than forcing fit into traditional roles. When Bulldog ultimately discovers his talent lies in baking cookies rather than the jobs he initially explored, the story delivers a gentle but important message about self-discovery and finding your unique strengths. The combination of community exposure and personal realization creates a satisfying narrative that will resonate with children beginning to think about their own interests and capabilities.
