Summary

For the child who says, "I want to be a veterinarian when I grow up!" And for any child who wants a gentle behind-the-scenes look at being a veterinarian.

Veterinarians help sick and hurt animals feel better. Did you know that there are many different ways to be a veterinarian? When a father and child bring Gus the dog to his check-up, they learn that there are vets who work with very large animals, vets who work with wild animals--and more.

I Want to Be a Veterinarian is part of a new I Can Read series that introduces young readers to important community helpers. This Level One I Can Read is perfect for children learning to sound out words and sentences.

For anyone looking for books about community helpers for kids, the I Can Read My Community books are a great choice. The books are bright and upbeat and feature characters who are diverse in terms of gender, race, age, and body type. Kids ages 3-6 will enjoy finding out more about the people who do so much to help all of our communities.

Horn Book Review

Through simple, kid-friendly framing stories, children learn about the possibilities and the variety in each community-helping career field. Softly colored cartoon illustrations show a diverse array of approachable-looking characters and match the books' conversational tone. Each easy-reader narrative flows naturally while providing controlled vocabulary and concrete explanations for emerging readers.

Booklist Review

Taking his dog in for a checkup, a boy tells the vet that he'd like to become an animal doctor, but he's allergic to cats. Dr. Wells encourages him, commenting that not all vets treat pets. Over the next year, the boy meets a large-animal veterinarian at a horse stable and an aquatic vet at the aquarium. He visits an animal-rescue center where wildlife vets treat and release birds, and a farm where a dairy-cow vet talks to the boy's scout troop about other vets who work in labs, animal hospitals, and veterinary schools. Though the story simply presents a series of encounters, this book will certainly capture the attention of the many beginning readers who love animals. The first-person narrative includes comments and conversations while offering information in a way that's easy to absorb. The cheerful, colorful digital illustrations include a racially diverse cast of characters as well as a girl in a wheelchair and a boy with glasses. An appealing choice from the My Community subset of the I Can Read series.--Carolyn Phelan Copyright 2018 Booklist
