"This series is so fun. I've read a couple now and find them to be really great. The series mainly brings an introduction into different topics regarding what a child might want to do when they 'grow up' and tells them some of the steps to get started. The books describe what a day in the life of whichever topic they choose. There are many of these books and I'm certain this would be an awesome series to have available for a classroom or school library even...I recommend trying this series out if you child has an interest in any of the topics presented in this book series."
— Megin W., Amazon reviewer

"I like so many things about this series of books that I am not sure where to begin. It has all of the elements for the curious and interested. It takes you right down the correct path.

— Kindle Customer
"I really love these books. They're such a fun way to teach curious kids (and even adults) about different career paths. What I appreciate most is that they don’t just highlight the exciting parts, they also talk about the hard, messy, and challenging sides too. It feels real, not sugar-coated. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone who’s still figuring out what they want to do, or even someone who already has a specific job in mind and wants a better understanding of what it’s actually like."
— Area907, Amazon reviewer
"So many children's books about professions provide a glamorized version, giving false impressions of a career. Not these books."
— Donna E., Amazon reviewer, on So You Want To Be A Veterinarian
"Most books that talk about different jobs just explain what they do. This book gives enough details so that you understand what a marine biologist does, the tools used on the job, the importance of their work, and the positives and negatives that go with the job."
— Goldie, Amazon reviewer, on So You Want To Be A Marine Biologist
"These books go into detail about different career paths, or what some would think were just hobbies. It's amazing to know there is so much more to something than meets the eye."

— Meredith, Amazon reviewer, on So You Want To Be A Video Game Designer

— NH4063, Amazon reviewer, on So You Want To Be A Stunt Performer
"I read this book with my 8 year old who is very into 'what I want to be when I grow up.' This series has allowed him to explore different jobs and career paths than what is usually shared with children. The illustrations are wonderful, lots of color, engaging scenes, and attention grabbing."
— Buzzbee's Bookshelf, Amazon reviewer, on So You Want To Be A Toy Designer
