This is a book review of the So You Want To Be A… series by Linda Soules
Stars: *****
Self-Published
Children’s Nonfiction
38 pages
These adorable books are not like ones made for younger children that have very few (and obvious) words. These books are more like children’s nonfiction in a picture book. There is lots of information that an aspiring doctor, veterinarian, astronomer, chef, police officer so many more would need to know.
There are so many titles and they included lesser talked about professions such as chocolatier, voice actor, waterslide tester, ice cream flavor inventor, candy scientist, CEO, beekeeper, hot sauce creator, food stylist and SO many more.
These books are designed for ages 10-14, probably because they are text heavy. Something to note is the illustrations are AI. Now I know that is a big NO for some people but I like them and it doesn’t detract from the story, in fact it adds to it. As the author says, she’s a writer, not an illustrator.
At the end of the book is a glossary and websites/books to check out, organizations to know of and things to do to further learning. I especially like the What You Can Do To Prepare Now section which gives real ideas for the aspiring (fill in the blank profession) to do to start learning about the topic.
