One of the best books I've seen with positive career role modelling for girls. "Sticker Dolly Dressing" is a series of paper-doll like books where the clothes and accessories are stickers that (more or less) permanently affix to the page to make a layout and tell a story. Once the stickers are completed, it can function as a picture book and be read over and over.From the publisher: "Meet best friends Leyla, Katy and Becca, who are dreaming about the kinds of jobs they might do when they grow up. Use the stickers to dress the girls as they imagine caring for elephants [veterinarian] in Africa, designing costumes in a blockbuster movie, being a doctor in a busy hospital and lots, lots more." The other jobs are choreographer, race car engineer, snowboarder, fashion magazine editor, costume designer, chef, helicopter pilot, forensic scientist, marine biologist (with an underwater dive layout), and reporter.Clearly the "dream jobs" have been adapted for kids ("snowboarder" may not be many parents' aspiration for their child!), and Leyla's interests tend toward "fashion." But all the layouts -- especially the depictions of doctor, chef and pilot -- are accurate with interesting details. Your child will have lots of questions about what different jobs entail. The girls are depicted with a healthy body image and the outfits are modest (they even show them dressed appropriately for their internships). It's like the perfect trio of teenage big sisters for a kid to look up to. Our daughter is 5 and has hardly put this book down since we got it. Her little four-year-old buddy loves it too and wants one for himself. This is such a positive, seemingly effortless example of helping children visualize themselves DOING and achieving great things!Note: Children under 5 might have trouble aligning some sleeves and pantlegs -- for these kids it might be more fun with a parent standing by to help them straighten out. A great bedtime book. A+.
Can you believe it... a cover of a book for girls that isn't pink? Not that we don't have a lot of pink around, but it's SO nice to actually have variety in my daughter's life. We buy these sticker books primarily for travel on the plane... it's fun for her, builds up small motor skills, and allows us to talk about all the different type of jobs out there. This company is starting to make these for Ipad, too... but you don't get the same fine motor skills, so we'll probably use both depending on the situation.
My granddaughter loves the Usborne sticker books. This time we thought we would try "Dream Jobs" - I must say, I had a hard time trying to explain to her what a Forensic Crime person does and what they look for. We received this book yesterday and have gone through about 5 pages. We both enjoy the many stickers included and there have been some books she just didn't use half the stickers. I know says they will buy back the books, but so far she hasn't wanted to part with any of them! I'm thinking "Dream Jobs" should be more for 6 to 7 years old. 1) They'd be able to do by themselves and 2)More likely to remember the characters in the book from page to page. I sit with my granddaughter and help remove the stickers, she then decides who is going to wear what but we constantly have to refer to the front pages to identify each character so she dresses the right one!
We've purchased quite a few of these books, and have liked them all. This one is no exception. We appreciated the fact that the jobs were not stereotypical female jobs, but provided our daughter with the view that females can find a passion and career they love in any field.
I love that this sticker book let's my daughter play dress the figures with the underlying principles of career women. Great variety of jobs and good stickers.
