      Gr 2-4-This series examines careers by exploring a week in each vocation. For example, the narrator in Pilot takes readers from a helicopter pilot's Sunday morning, when he takes passengers to an oil rig, to Saturday, when he contemplates the many directions his career could take in the future. The large font, bold words, and spare texts (almost extended photo captions) are appropriate for the intended audience. The books discuss many aspects of the jobs, including duties, variety of opportunities, and dangers. Large color photos, which are largely captioned, are important partners to the texts. A concluding "Writing a Diary" section in every title connects the format with the content and explains that "You can write a diary, too!"

      Clear and well organized, with highlighted vocabulary words and enticing color photographs, each book recounts a week in a performer's life, from rehearsals to costumes to being on stage. It's not clear who is "writing" the diary, which readers may find confusing. Overall, however, these are useful introductions to each profession. Tips on diary writing are included. Reading list. Glos., ind.
