Goodreads asked Sarah Sommer:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Sarah Sommer Animals at the Office reflects a culmination of my experiences working with co-workers and teams at various schools and offices. I would often notice the differences in our skills, interests, and approaches to getting the project done, and some of these traits seemed to fit into personalities that reminded me of animals such as the obedient dog. I wanted to write something that would still be a positive kid-friendly story but would also make the parents chuckle as they were reminded of an experience they've had with a particular character in the book.
