Maxine is a dog who needs a job.  She visits several of her dog friends and tries to do their jobs but is unsuccessful.  Will she ever find the job that is right for her?

Maxine Gets a Job is a sweet book with bright illustrations and a good amount of words on a page for a read aloud.  The plot is ok but not terribly exciting.  It could be a good introduction into learning about jobs that dogs can do.
