Maxine Gets a Job review

 Maxine Gets a Job by Alexandra Garyn

The exceptionally adorable global sensation Maxine the Fluffy Corgi teaches your littlest reader the importance of figuring out what they love to do and doing it with their whole hearts!(goodreads summary)
 

 

 

If you are familiar with the famous fluffy Instagram dog Maxine, you will appreciate this cute and funny book.  She knows that many talented dogs have jobs and she wants one too.  After trying to be a lifeguard, a chicken guard dog and a truffle dog like her friends, nothing seemed to fit her.  After thinking hard about what she loves best, Maxine finally realizes what her perfect job could be.  

This is a cute book with fun illustrations that will have kids giggling.  When Maxine tries her best to be like her friends, she doesn't give up when she realizes that their jobs are not for her.  Bright bold colors and easy text help make this a good read aloud.  Not everyone is made for the same things but if you try you will find what fits you.  It offers a good message to not give up and just be yourself.  To find out more about the real Maxine, her Instagram account is listed at the end of the book.  I think this is a "just right book" for ages 3-7.~
