Why read it?

1 author picked Vinny Gets a Job as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Vinny the dog is determined to find the perfect job in the big city. But washing dishes in a restaurant doesnā€™t mean licking the plates, watering the floristā€™s plants isnā€™t done by lifting his leg, and guarding the dinosaur bones at the museum doesnā€™t mean holding them in his teeth! Despite his initial errors, Vinny does find a job that is just right. Filled with humor, this book is also terrific for introducing map reading skills as Vinny crisscrosses the city.

From Cathy's list on entrepreneurship and jobs for kids.
