"[B]right colors, bold layouts, large fonts, and photographs featuring a diverse cast of children. . . . These visually appealing books are for casual browsers . . . "—School Library Journal, Series Made Simple

From the Publisher

04/01/2020

Gr 1–3—These titles contain all the hallmarks of the familiar Lerner series: bright colors, bold layouts, large fonts, and photographs featuring a diverse cast of children. These books focus on kid entrepreneurs in many fields including entertainment, business, inventing, and high tech. Light on details and heavy on the superlatives, each book begins with an introduction to the field and what it takes for young creatives to break into it, and then highlights a few individuals who have gained prestige. Some descriptions are slightly more in-depth, describing a product or the inspiration behind the work. VERDICT These visually appealing books are for casual browsers who are fine with surface-level information.
