This was an adorable quick read. The illustrations were beautiful and colorful, and the information was age appropriate. I could see this becoming a favorite read in our home.

ABC What Can I Be is a wonderful career book for little children. The illustrations are colorful and certain to grab a toddler's attention. I adore how inclusive this book is! The creators made sure to include people from many different backgrounds and was gender nonconformative. This is certainly a book that should be displayed in every children's library!

I really like this. This book will be a quick bedtime book with my daughter. I think she will enjoy the pictures and the bright colors.

The description of this book says it’s perfect for teaching toddlers the ABCs, while exposing them to different careers. The illustrations are engaging, but some of the careers that are highlighted would be incomprehensible to some adults let alone to toddlers. “Q is for Quantitative Analyst” and “U is for UX Designer” are two such examples. I do not recommend this book because I don’t think the vocabulary is age appropriate.

An ABC career book for kids? Yes please!

I love this book. I already have the ABC What Can She Be? for my daughter and we love it! There is such a variety of careers throughout with great illustrations.

I would recommend this to anyone with toddlers and would definitely buy this as gifts!

<u>ABC for Me</u> is a cute and simple board book filled with colorful and inclusive illustrations that highlight the diversity and multitude of jobs available, and the people that complete them. A great addition to any library that serves children and families!

A very cute survey of different careers that children can pursue. I appreciated the range of careers from STEM to the arts and more. The book is simple and direct and can easily lead to children wanting to find out more about these jobs or others.

ABC What Can I Be? is a new book from the ABC for me series. It's a boardbook aimed at very young children and their caregivers. Due out 1 Sept 2020 from Quarto on their Walter Foster Jr. imprint, it's 32 colorful pages. Illustrated by Jessie Ford of Sugar Snap Studio, it's an alphabet book full of dreams for girls.

I liked that the book included careers with long and demanding educational paths (surgeon and quantitative analyst) side by side with vocational careers (excavator and floral designer). The kids pictured are ethnically diverse and differently-abled.

I am an optimist and believe that someday (soon) we won't need books telling our kids 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 as well as a read-to-me or bedtime read.

Five stars
