These books in the STEM Jobs You'll Love series connect students' experiences with science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) with real-world careers, both expected and unexpected. STEM Jobs with Animals focuses on both the well-known job of veterinarian and the less-well-known job of agricultural engineer. Will these books motivate more boys and girls to pursue studies and careers in STEM fields? Who can tell? Whether or not young readers choose these fields, however, they should learn a lot from these books, which do an excellent job of introducing varied professional jobs, many of which will almost certainly be new to readers, as well as providing relevant STEM activities, such as basic math problems, in the context of these professions.

STEM jobs are careers for the future. STEM jobs meet needs people have. When you work in an animal related field, the STEM possibilities are endless. From the zookeeper who looks after the animals and maintains the daily operations of the zoo, a veterinarian who gives shots and performs surgery on injured animals, to the engineer who designs better cages or habitats for animals, all these wonderful careers and more are explained in this book. It also details the different degrees it takes to obtain these jobs and what each of these people do. This book will allow students to realize that small changes in one part of a system might cause large changes in another part.
