Maxine the Dog Gets a Job

In this irresistibly funny board book, Maxine the Fluffy Corgi imparts unparalleled doggy wisdom to her littlest readers: lean on your friends and find what makes you happy.

All of Maxine's talented dog friends have jobs. And as a talented dog herself, she wants one, too.

Maxine tries (and fails at) her friends’ jobs until she realizes the key to finding the perfect job: doing what she loves.

From the humans behind one of the most famous and fluffiest corgis in the world comes a tail-wagging tale about a small but mighty dog named Maxine.
