Three Important Jobs is a delightful picture book that stars an adorable wolf cub who takes her responsibilities very seriously. This surprising and funny book is perfect for reading and sharing together, and for anyone who may be nervous about embarking on a new experience. The book emphasizes friendship, responsibility, and overcoming anxiety, making it an excellent choice for social-emotional learning and for readers of Ryan T. Higginss We Dont Eat Our Classmates.

Wolf Cub has three very important jobs to complete: she must find Little Mouse, Floppy Rabbit, and a sack of prickle brushes and bring them back to Big Wolfs den. Wolf Cub carries each item in her mouth, even though it tickles, and delivers them to Big Wolf as promised. Good job, Wolf Cub! However, what happens when Big Wolf, with her big sharp teeth, invites everyone into her den with the promise that no one will feel a thing?

Acclaimed author-artist Yvonne Ivinsons suspensefully silly and ultimately reassuring picture book features wordplay, subverted expectations, lots of giggles, and a wolf cub who takes her job very seriously indeed. Observant readers will be delighted with the twist ending: Big Wolf is a dentist, Wolf Cub is her able assistant, Little Mouse and Floppy Rabbit are the patients, and the prickle brushes are their new toothbrushes.

Three Important Jobs is ideal for emerging readers, for anyone feeling apprehensive about a new experience, and for fans of David Ezra Steins Dont Worry, Murray. The rhythmic text and winsome illustrations make this book a pleasure to read and enjoy.
