Gr 3–5—Showcasing six high-interest careers in science, technology, engineering, and math, the volumes in this informative series give students an up-close look at these hard-working scientists both in the lab and in the field. While the jobs included here represent just a fraction of the numerous STEM-focused career possibilities, the books are unified in their emphasis that math skills are crucial regardless of the profession. The design of each volume is aesthetically appealing in that it reflects the focus of the book—Software Developer and Electrical Engineer, for example, include purple circuitry images at the top and bottom of many pages—and visually reinforces what the audience is reading; brief sidebars accomplish this textually.
VERDICT A solid addition to library careers and science sections.
