I Want to Be an Engineer: A My Community I Can Read (I Can Read Level 1) by Laura Driscoll

For the child who says, "I want to be an engineer when I
grow 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.

For anyone looking for books about community helpers for
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
about the people who do so much to help all of our communities.
