The Today I'm a . . . shaped board book series takes young children on a week in the life of different aspirational careers. In Today I'm a Veterinarian, kids will follow Dr. Emma, and get to see the various tasks undertaken to heal animals and the tools vets use to keep them healthy. Filled with colorful images of animals and fun vet vocabulary, kids will get a taste of what it's like to be a veterinarian.
"No ethnicities are specified, but the cast is racially diverse. The books are eye-catching and fun to handle; each is die cut in the shape of a happy child dressed for the book's make-believe profession... On Sunday, Dr. Emma stays home to read up on the latest developments in animal health care, setting an excellent example for aspiring veterinarians. Both surprisingly charming and respectful of its readers." --Kirkus starred review
