Toddler-PreS–Adults always ask, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” The answer might be a police officer, a builder or a Barbie. After reading through this book, children will have far more choices. P is for Paramedic, not police officer; B is for Biochemist! STEM careers are represented, making this a relevant ABC book for children in the 21st century. Each page is written in an inconsistent rhythm, but the digital illustrations will keep children turning pages.

VERDICT This book will open minds about exploring different career paths.
