Hardworking Puppies by Lynn Reiser would be a cute book to read to a Kindergarten class. The book is about ten puppies who work hard playing all day. The puppies wanted more... They all wanted jobs! One by one the puppies were taken for jobs as a firefighter puppy, junior water-rescue puppy, an assistant clown puppy, a model puppy; etc. One day there was only one little puppy left. Along came a boy who needed a hardworking puppy. This last little puppy became an expert pet!
I think this is a really good book for teaching. It incorporates math using subtraction and counting down. This is an information book and teaches children that dogs aren't just pets. Dogs can have a lot of different jobs. At the end of the book there is a page that has descriptions of the different doggie jobs. There is also a page showing how to subtract by one.
