Editorial Reviews

11/01/2017
PreS-Gr 2—Simple sentences, refrains, and frequent interjections encourage early readers to get excited about future career possibilities, as in, "I can be a teacher. So can you!" The jobs spotlighted are those familiar to young children, and the professionals are portrayed as helpers, as when Officer Smith helped when "Dan got hurt on his bike," and when "Ann was lost." Scientists study plants to help farmers grow food, and teachers listen and make sure students are safe. One fact per page is balanced with a full-page photo on the opposite side. Adults are shown in occupational garb performing typical tasks and using job-related tools such as a scientist's microscope or firefighter's ax. An "Early Reader" designation on the cover, a "Words to Know" Pictionary, and an overall visually uncluttered format support the read-alone process. VERDICT Empowering "I can" statements mirror current learning-objective initiatives. Consider for large collections.
