What if your garden was actually a fully staffed workplace - and every worm, beetle, and owl had a job title to prove it?
The Secret Jobs of Backyard Creatures transforms the compost heap, the garden path, and the dark patch under the porch into the most hilariously documented workplace you've never noticed.

50 Creatures. 50 Ridiculous Job Titles. One Very Busy Backyard.

Creatures are organised across 7 Workplace Departments - from Dawn Patrol to Midnight Operations - following a full day in the life of a garden that never actually sleeps.
Every job title is a real nod to what each creature genuinely does in nature. The Pollination Logistics Coordinator really does move pollen. The Decomposition Division really does break things down. The laughs come with genuine learning built right in - so kids absorb how the natural world works without ever feeling like they're being taught.
