Praise for I’LL BECOME A RESEARCHER:

“I’ll Become a Researcher tells you the basics of every discipline with accuracy and precision. Even If a preschooler will not understand all words, the excellent illustrations can help bring the research equipment and objects of investigation to life.  The presentation was also approved by my 12-year-old son, who is a little older than the target group. The comic in the end of the book gets a special commendation. Clear demonstration, I liked it!”
– Elina Lindfors, Tähdet ja Avaruus -magazine, Finland
