Customer Reviews
Much needed representation
This book is phenomenal. My 7yr old daughter loved reading about the different career paths in medicine. The illustrations are beautiful and eye catching. It keeps my daughter engaged. This is such a great way to get real information into children's brain. I appreciated that the author explained all of the titles so that my daughter could understand what each person does. I can't wait for the boy version for my son! He loves this book as well.
