'Que significa ser carpintero? (What's It Really Like to Be a Carpenter?)

by Christine Honders

Overview

Even as the world changes, skilled labor will always be needed. There's nothing quite like the ability to create things with your skills and your own hands. Carpenters use their skills to build things we use every day, including items such as furniture, buildings, and bridges. They read building plans, choose materials, design, and create. This book teaches kids that to become a carpenter, you have to use a lot more than a hammer and nails; you need your brain too. Photographs and diagrams enable readers to make key connections with the text.

Gr 1–3—One of the best ways to get kids excited about reading is to inspire them to think about the professions that await them and to cultivate a collection that will shape their biggest dreams. Common professions and the educational path for each are detailed in a concise format, with easy textual and visual transitions between topics. In ¿Qué significa ser maestro?, different facets of teaching careers and all the various subjects one could teach are presented; content is not restricted to just the traditional roles that each profession serves in society but instead offers a more liberal, modern interpretation. This series scores high in multiple areas: Intersectional identities are represented, including ability diversity, and the translation quality hits the mark. VERDICT Recommended especially for school libraries but serves as an excellent update to a public library collection.
