Love animals? Make your passion your profession with this comprehensive guide that reveals a whole host of careers that work hands-on with animals of all shapes, sizes, and species in the tenth book in the Be What You Want series.

Do you remember what career you dreamed of having when you were a kid? Right up there along with firefighter, doctor, and astronaut, you'll find veterinarian as one of the top kid's dream jobs. This usually stems from that childhood love of a beloved pet or even the adventure of visiting the exotic animals at the zoo. But there are so many other careers that are focused around animals that kids don't know exist.

Covering industries from domestic and exotic veterinary medicine, wildlife protection and conservation, farming and fisheries, research, and even animal training and handling (like police dogs), So, You Want to Work with Animals? explores what these jobs are really like--the fun stuff, the hard stuff, and even the gross stuff.

In addition to tips and interviews from professionals in the industry, So, You Want to Work with Animals , includes inspiring stories from kids who are already working with animals, activities, a glossary, and resources to help kids on their way to a successful and fulfilling career.

Ages 8-12.
