Booklist - 11/15/2016 Books in the I Want to Be series introduce occupations broadly and briefly. A typical page features a single photo, accompanied by a text box that includes a couple of sentences. Overall, the color photos are well chosen and offer diversity in those depicted (though this could have been stronger in Dentist). In the text, the approach varies from one volume to the next. One might survey the topic broadly, mentioning many specialties within the profession, while another looks more closely at a particular job. Besides telling what dentists do, what specialized equipment they use, and who else works in their offices, Dentist briefly discusses baby teeth, braces, and dental hygiene. The series offers books that may be useful to teachers introducing careers to young children, and certain volumes will fit right into Community Helpers units as well. - Copyright 2016 Booklist.
