Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

K-Gr 2-This slight paperback has one-or-two sentence, boxed captions per page describing what vets do. The format is disjointed and unattractive. There is no separation of pictures; unrelated, full-page photos bleed into one another. The brief text ends abruptly on the final page with no hint of closure. Stephanie Maze's I Want to Be a Veterinarian (Harcourt, 1997) is a better choice.-Sally R. Dow, Ossining Public Library, NY

my child has always wanted to be a vet. this book is good for young children probably up to age 7 or 8. for older kids, the James herriot books might be good.

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: I Want To Be A Vet (Paperback)

My daughter was/is interested in being a vet so we bought this, and for the price it is a deal and a half - simply order it. I thought it was a bit too basic, but again, it is for younger readers and there are fun images kids can enjoy. So I hesitate between a 4 and 5, but would not hesitate purchasing the book as it is very good values for a book under $5.00.
