PreS-Gr 2—Familiar occupations (cooks, farmers, teachers, nurses) are presented. Full-page photographs accompanied by simple sentences describe the occupations: what they do, where they work, how they study to prepare for the job, and tools of the trade. For the most part, the photographs include different ethnicities and genders. The images in ¡Que vivan los veterinarios!, though, seem to be mostly of white women. And ¡Que vivan los granjeros! has more photos of farming equipment than people, perhaps reflecting the reality of large-scale agribusiness but ignoring the vast numbers of Latinxs working in agriculture. Critical thinking questions sprinkled throughout are age appropriate and accessible.
VERDICT Will meet the needs of curricular units on community.
