Animals Work by Ted Lewin - OPTIONAL

Lewin, Ted Animals Work. PICTURE BOOK. Holiday House, Inc. 2014. $14.95.

This beautifully illustrated book travels around the world introducing the reader to various types of working animals. From dogs to llamas, each illustration introduces the reader to animals and the work they do.
What I really enjoyed about this book was the variety of animals Ted Lewin displays. Most animal books for young readers center around basic farm animals. Lewin’s book takes animal books to a whole new level. 

It was fun reading this to my 13-month-old and watching light up at the animals she recognized and wonder at elephants and camels. Painted by Ted Lewin as he saw them, the illustrations are beautifully life like. If your young reader isn’t an animal lover already, this book will surely spark a new passion.
