First sentence: Do you love dolphins and other marine animals? Do you enjoy going to the beach and visiting aquariums?
Premise/plot: This is a nonfiction level two reader in a new series published by Simon & Schuster. The premise is simple: if you love dolphins, you could grow up to be... an aquatic veterinarian, a marine biologist, an underwater filmmaker. There's a chapter with loads of details for each job possibility.
My thoughts: I like both this one and If You Love Video Games, You Could Be... Both books, I believe, have great kid appeal. Nonfiction has certainly come a long way from when I was a kid.

Taking on a love many kids have—dophins—, this read attempts to inspire and demonstrate carriers which young readers might not have heard about before.
At 32-pages, this is a compact read, full of information. It starts out with a glossary of tougher vocabulary words before heading into the chapters, which give a short description of the love for dolphins and three carrier possibilities. Several more carriers are listed on the last page along with a short description for each one.
Not only is this written at a level the intended age group can easily understand, but it's kept exciting enough to keep readers from growing bored too easily. The job descriptions are kept light and give a rough overview of what is expected and how kids might prepare (in easy ways).
The illustrations are bright and add enough fun to keep readers from feeling bogged down. It's a lovely mix.
I received a complimentary copy and found this to be such a quick, informative read for the age group that I wanted to leave my honest thoughts.

I love this new Ready to Read series and because dolphins have been my favorite animal since I was 7 this is my favorite. A practical, well written easy chapter book for new readers. It has an introduction and three chapters, each with a different option for career paths for kids who love dolphins. Short enough to not be overwhelming but detailed enough to be interesting and with the structure of later non-fiction books.

Bookaday #9. Easy to read NF for dolphin lovers interested in a career working with these animals. Glossy at the beginning, 3 careers in their own chapter, and a list of other related careers at the end.

What a clever idea!!! I love the idea of this series which introduces kids to careers and fields that tie into some of their favorite things. This one covers aquatic veterinarian, marine biologist, underwater filmmaker in a little detail and then mentions five other options in the backmatter.

Wonderful engaging illustrations and interesting choices for careers. I also like that it features a few and then has brief explanations of more in the back.
