Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Gross Jobs Working with Animals
Nikki Bruno · 2020
68/100
👎 Skip It
The gross-out hook is legitimately effective for reluctant readers, and embedding real STEM career content inside the yuck factor is smarter than it sounds. At 32 pages it can't go deep, but it probably doesn't need to — the goal is to ignite curiosity, not deliver a curriculum. Parents who flinch at maggot farming as dinner-table conversation should know what they're getting; everyone else will find it a solid library pick.
