What Job Do You Want Charades

In Lola Goes to Work: A Nine-to-Five Therapy Dog, we meet Lola, a little terrier with a big job. Children will identify with the feisty Lola as she struggles to go to school, passing tests, and finally achieving her Big Dog dream job.

Lola takes her job as a therapy dog very seriously. This is just one type of community helper. Children will love to explore other jobs and community helpers by playing pretend.

Lola knows what she wants to do as a grown up. She wants to be a therapy dog. But there are a lot of fun and important jobs out there. Whatever job your child decides to do when they grow up they will have lots of fun exploring different jobs while they play with their friends.
