Such a cute book! Read it to my son and daughter and they enjoyed it! Great pictures, which of course caught their eyes!

I really enjoyed this baby/tot book. It is very well rounded and fun the careers that are listed. The careers were not always gender stereotyped and there were lots of jobs featured that are necessary to our world but not as well known.

Boys dreams can come true and they can choose to be anything they want to be. This fun ABC board book highlights some of those possibilities. This is a companion book to "ABC What Can She Be?" The author skillfully guides the reader through the alphabet showcasing diverse career choices for boys such as: an astronaut, environment engineer, geologist, jet pilot, karate instructor, nurse, quantum physicist, singer, urban planner and video game designer just to cite a few. The boys are depicted from different nationalities and one is in a wheelchair. The author's mission for inclusiveness is much appreciated I'm sure.

This book will spark a lot of conversations concerning different job choices and the pathway one needs to take to achieve that job. This would be a great asset in a classroom or school library. Further research could happen and it would be a perfect book to have discussions about community helpers.

The illustrations are colourful and empower the text to embolden boys to choose the career of their own personal choice. The book gently challenges boys to follow their dreams wherever they may lead. I highly recommend this book. It's very relevant for today.

This is a companion book to "ABC What Can She Be?" This colourful board book goes through an alphabet of work options available for boys when they grow up. I loved the diversity in this book, in the jobs explored and the boys pictured. There were jobs that are considered female traditional jobs, depicted with males in the roles. Not only that, but the boys pictured were very diverse, showing not only various nationalities, but also there is even one in a wheelchair. As one would expect, this book goes through the alphabet, choosing one profession for each letter. This is a board book, but I think it is geared to primary aged children as they talk about community helpers and jobs. This is a book that would evoke a lot of questions about various jobs and perhaps even some further reading and research. Some of the jobs are not well known and young children would probably not know what several of them are. Having said that, the illustrations and short text does give hints and further information about the jobs. Overall, a nice, little book, but I think it would have a better audience in primary classrooms rather than with toddlers.

Fun and entertaining for the 4 year old and 6 year old in my house, they quite enjoyed this book. We had lots of good conversations when finished.

I enjoyed this picture book. It was engaging and colorful. A perfect way to teach kids about the careers and to help them learn the alphabet. My 5 year old really enjoyed it.

Boys can be anything they want to be, from A to Z is a fun and colorful ABC book with a variety of future occupations for boys. This is a companion book to ABC What Can She Be which I reviewed a while ago. Due out 03 Sept 2019 by Quarto publishing on their Walter Foster Jr. imprint, it's 36 pages and will be available in ebook and board book formats. It's appealingly llustrated by Jessie Ford of Sugar Snap Studio.

I liked that the book included careers with long and demanding educational paths (xenobiologist and quantum physicist) side by side with vocational careers (carpenter and horse trainer). The boys pictured are ethnically diverse and differently-abled. There is some overlap in both books (quantum physicist, astronaut, engineer, teacher, and yoga instructor, which is neat).

I am an optimist and believe that someday (soon) we won't need books telling our children that they can choose whatever career paths they wish to pursue, but we're not there yet. This is a sweet and non-judgemental book.

The text is written in non-rhyming free verse with a one sentence explanation of what each job entails.

Thoroughly charming. I really liked it and think it would make a nice reading group selection in a classroom setting for younger kids.

Five stars

Too cute!! Love how theres a variety of jobs including usually gendered jobs. Would love to own this book and am looking forward to reading their other books!

Colourful and creative but some of these jobs titles are way too complicated for young ones to understand. Not right for it's intended audience at all.

This book shows many different careers to young boys. It is nice to see that this book features different races and careers you don’t normally see in children’s books. This is a great introduction to nonfiction and different careers.

This was a fab book I have a young daughter and this was a massive hit with her and me!

As a mum I loved that she can learn the alphabet and also have fun learning about the different jobs open to her when she grows up, I didn't show her that the book was generally for boys as I think the book had the right idea in showing that jobs can be for any gender.

The images are nice, bright, sharp and clean to which makes the book attractive too and my daughter loved it and wanted it read over and over.

Five stars from me – very highly recommended!

I loved this so much! It lists careers from A to Z and includes careers that are usually aimed towards girls. It's about time that we acknowledge that boys can be a nurse or a ballerina.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Walter Foster, Jr. for and early copy ABC for Me: ABC What Can He Be? By Jessie Ford. This was a cute book of possible professions. There was a great range of possibilities from Astronaut to Ballet Dancer to Police Officer to Singer, and so on. Each job comes with a fun one sentence description of what each job entails. The pages are very colorful and fun to look at for kids. This book was a fun, quick, entertaining read. My only complaint is that it was for boys, but I think it could have been for anyone.

I LOVE this book so much! I have a 2yo daughter who would love to see boys in this ABC book. But more importantly, my young son can sit a read to his little sister a book that shares that boys can be ballet dancers or video game designers or yoga instructors because there just aren't enough of us shouting this message out! The writing is awesome and the illustrations are spot on. Yay! Great example of gender inclusivity.

I understand what the author was going for, but it fell flat. Most of the careers included in the book (actually, I'd say 95%) are "typical" male careers. It also irked me that B for Ballet Dancer didn't use the correct terminology. A male Ballet Dancer is called a Ballerino.

Thank you netgalley for granting my wish and for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I thought this storybook was engaging and colorful. A perfect way to teach kids about the difference careers that exists while learning the alphabets. Great buy.

My first thought upon seeing this was along the lines of, "Why do boys need a book telling them they can be anything they want? Society already tells them that from the moment they're born!" But it's actually not quite that simple, and as I read through this book and saw some of the careers within, I started to understand why a book like this is needed.

Why not just make it an ABC of what all kids can do? Because our society has so clearly divided everything into "boy stuff" and "girl stuff", many of the careers in this book would be discounted as being just for girls. So the choice to have this book focused solely on boys makes sense. (In case you're wondering, there is a version for girls that was published last year.)

I was pleasantly surprised by the selection of careers in here. The author even managed to tie it to the alphabet theme without getting tripped up on letters like Q and X (Quantum Physicist and Xenobiologist, respectively). There are plenty of non-traditional careers for boys here; they can be a Ballet Dancer, a Fashion Designer, or a Nurse. They can also be an Environmental Engineer, a Horse Trainer, or a Welder. Basically, boys can be anything they can think of.

The illustrations are pretty cute, and the text is done quite well. This would be a good book for opening boys' eyes to the possibilities of all the things they might do with their lives.

This is a wonderful Alphabet book. I felt it broke down societal constructs about what men / boys are meant to be. This book shows us boys can be tough and strong but also soft and kind and gentle. Intelligence is as important as creativity.

The illustrations were colourful and fun, and the boys in the story were drawn with variety!

Wonderful book I will be on the lookout for for my son and nephew. Just crowding my fingers now for a girl version.

I really liked this book. The illustrations are bright and appealing, while also showing diversity. Boys will find that they can be whatever they dream of: just a few examples from the alphabet: Ballet Dancer for B, Horse Trainer for H, Marine Biologist for M, Urban Planner for U and so much more. The fields cover such a wide range, everything from lawyer to fashion designer. This book belongs in a spot where children can see and enjoy it.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this book in exchange for an honest review.
