I Want to Be an Engineer

**For the child who says, "I want to be an engineer when Igrow up!" And for any child who wants a gentle behind-the-scenes look at

being an engineer.**

I never knew that there were so many different ways to be an

engineer. When my big brother goes to school for engineering, I learn that

there are engineers who build buildings and design big rockets. Did you know

that there are other kinds of engineers too? There are environmental engineers,

plumbing engineers, robotic engineers-and many more! Maybe I'll be an

engineer, too?

With this story blending narrative with nonfiction elements,

readers meet the wide variety of engineers who do so much to support our

communities.

I Want to Be an Engineer is part

of a I Can Read series that introduces young readers to important community

helpers. This Level One I Can Read is perfect for children learning to sound

out words and sentences. Whether shared at home or in a classroom, the

short sentences, familiar words, and simple concepts of Level One books support

success for children eager to start reading on their own.

kids, the I Can Read My Community books are a great choice. The books are

bright and upbeat and feature characters who are diverse in terms of

gender, race, age, and body type. Kids ages 3-6 will enjoy finding out more
