Review

If you have a child that says they want to be a veterinarian or have a passion for animals, than this is a book that I would encourage them to read. When I Grow Up I Want To Be a Veterinarian, is a great lesson for kids to learn how to take care of a pet. Sofia, just like any kid wants to have a pet of her own but her mother doesn’t think she is ready. Just like Sofia, many children want a pet but don’t understand that there are responsibilities attached that they may not be ready to commit to doing. When Sofia is surprised by a cat that turns up on her doorstep, she knows that it is meant to be and jumps right in caregiver mode. Upon seeing Sofia feed her new friend, her mother decides to give in but notices that the cat doesn’t look that well. Convincing Sofia the importance of seeing a Vet, the reader is taken on a fun experience with Sofia to learn generally what a Vet does and the different types of animals that get treated. Informative, accompanied by beautiful illustrations and real photographs of animals that will keep the young reader engaged. Overall, this was another good book in this series.
