South American Kat used to examine the starry skies with her father and now her job is to search for new planets. Marjane loved hunting for treasures, and she became an archeologist who solves the mysteries of ancient cultures. Eduardo loved playing video games. He did not become a professional gamer, but now he creates climate models and ponders what our world will be like in a hundred years. All kinds of people do science, and anyone can become a scientist!

PRAISE:

I'll Become a Researcher tells you the basics of every discipline with accuracy and precision. Even if a preschooler might not understand all the words, the excellent illustrations 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 cartoon at the end of the book gets a special commendation. A clear demonstration, I liked it!
