Animals herd, carry, pull, and even . . . keep us company! This
nonfiction, easy-to-read picture book transports readers from an open
field to a desert to a snowy tundra as animals of all kinds perform some
very important work. The book ends with an endearing role reversal as a
young boy gives milk to his cat, reminding readers that just as animals
help people, people in turn can help animals. This book teaches readers
about the variety of work animals and depicts the give-and-take of
human/animal relationships. A map is included. Guided Reading Level C.
