What do you want to be when you grow up?
If they haven’t already thought about their futures (and they
probably haven’t), toddlers and preschoolers might start planning
after perusing this cheerful first guide to scientific careers.
Plump-cheeked, wide-eyed tykes with various skin and hair colors
introduce different professions, including zoologist,
meteorologist, aerospace engineer, and environmental scientist,
depicted with cues to tip readers off to what the jobs entail. The
simple text presents the sometimes-long, tongue-twisting career
names while helpfully defining them in comprehensible terms. For
example, an environmental scientist “helps take care of our world,”
and a zoologist is defined as someone who “studies how animals
behave.” Scientists in general are identified as those who “study,
learn, and solve problems.” Such basic language not only benefits
youngsters, but also offers adults sharing the book easy vocabulary
with which to expand on conversations with kids about the
professions. The title’s ebullient appearance is helped along by
the typography: The jobs’ names are set in all caps, printed in
color and in a larger font than the surrounding text, and
emphasized with exclamation points. Additionally, the buoyant
watercolors feature clues to what scientists in these fields work
with, such as celestial bodies for astronomers. The youngest
listeners won’t necessarily get all of this, but the book works as
a rudimentary introduction to STEM topics and a shoutout to
scientific endeavors.
So rocket science can be fun.
