Jack-Jack, the world’s coolest dog, is back for another adventure, and this time he’s on the search for employment. Surely after all his hard work looking after orphaned chimps in Africa, he’ll have no problem finding a new career? Sadly, Jack-Jack’s work experience placements don’t go to plan and soon he’s wondering if he’ll ever find a job.
This is another delightful instalment in the Jack-Jack series. Children won’t be able to resist this cute canine, and the short chapters and fun illustrations make this series a perfect choice for developing reading confidence.
Jack-Jack’s narration is quirky with lots of funny insights into a dog's mind. In particular his witty observations of humans and life in the Yookay (UK) will be enjoyed by readers of all ages. Whilst Charli Vince’s sketch style illustrations add fantastic detail and movement to each page.
A must read for all young animal lovers.

Super-clever Jack, the coolest dog in the world, gets to try different jobs a dog can do. After having had a pretty special job in Africa looking after orphaned chimps at a sanctuary, Jack-Jack heads for some varied work experience. Is he barking up the wrong tree as he experiments with being a search and rescue dog?
Next he spends time at a police dog training academy, then trying to herd runaway sheep and finally as a therapy dog for humans in need of some cuddle time with a furry, four pawed friend.
Jack-Jack is real! After filming the hit BBC2 series, Baby Chimp Rescue , biologist, broadcaster, and author, Prof Ben Garrod fell in love with Jack and brought him back to the UK!
