Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 6-10-Reeves and Huebeck take a creative approach to their topic while offering a world of interesting careers for future job seekers. After taking an occupational-interest quiz (the authors repeatedly warn readers not to write in the book if they do not own it), students learn about 15 occupations from veterinarian to recycling entrepreneur. In each chapter, they meet a specialist (arborist, botanist, entomologist, hydrologist, marine biologist, zoologist, etc.) and learn about the person's first paying job and current position. Each chapter also features hands-on activities related to that career, suggested reading, Web sites, and related organizations. The tone is friendly and light. Several underlying messages are repeated: education is important, math is a component of many jobs, it's never too early to start planning one's future, and girls are not limited to a small menu of professions. Advice on how to interview local practitioners and set up job-shadowing experiences is valuable. Black-and-white photos and drawings appear throughout. A well-organized, creative look at exploring occupations.
