Oz Otter’s Big Job Hunt is a charming and interactive picture book for children aged 5 to 8, introducing young readers to the world of work in a fun, playful way.

Oz Otter is a cub photographer for the Otterville Chronicle—the youngest reporter in town! One bright morning, he’s sent out on a big assignment: to take photographs of all the otters in the village doing their jobs. From firefighters and dentists to pop stars and pilots, Oz snaps them all in action.

But Oz needs help finishing his story…

Each page shows one of Oz’s photographs alongside a few rhyming clues. The reader is asked to guess what job the otter in the picture is doing—before turning the page to reveal the correct answer! It’s a playful and educational guessing game that encourages thinking, listening, and laughter.

After Oz has finished his assignment for the day, he likes nothing better than to set Hidden Word puzzles using the job names he learnt. And he would love you to try and guess the words he has hidden in his puzzles!

With delightful illustrations and hidden word puzzles, Oz Otter’s Big Job Hunt helps young children:

• Learn to identify common jobs and professions.
• Build vocabulary and listening skills.
• Engage in shared reading with adults or peers.
• Develop deductive thinking through clues and guessing.
• Paperback edition:
  • 8 X 10 Inches (20.32 X 25.4 cm)

Perfect for classroom use, bedtime stories, or curious little minds, this book makes learning about the working world feel like a fun adventure.

If your child loves animals, puzzles, and beautifully illustrated stories, they’ll adore joining Oz on his very first photo assignment.
