Gr 6 Up-It's tough to find career books that are well organized, full of beautiful photography, and present honest snapshots of the featured professions. These titles have all of the above. Each volume highlights seven different careers, some of which are not readily found elsewhere, such as food photographer (Food Industry) or display designer (Fashion Industry). The books are chock-full of color photographs and sidebars. Some of the best features are "Good Points and Bad Points" as expressed by practitioners working in the field and the "A day in the life of-" sections. These attractive, informative, and interesting titles are must haves for career sections.-Marcie Mann, Lafayette Jr. Sr. High School, NY Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
