Architect: Builder of the World (On the Job Series)

Hugo and Bridgit are two kids who tell each other about their likes and dislikes—things that interest them and things they like to do. Then, with grownups' guidance, they visit interesting places where they might like to work when they grow up. In this book, Hugo and Bridgit are invited to visit an architect's offices, scan blueprints, and find out what architects do. Then they visit construction sites and discover why different buildings can have such distinct appearances. Bridgit and Hugo ask questions that most young readers would ask, and get answers that make good sense to kids. But they also have to answer questions of their own. The kind of answers they give will help them understand their own interests, special abilities, and likes and dislikes. This way, boys and girls can figure out which careers will give them the most satisfaction and success when they grow up and go out on the job. Books mix cartoon-style illustrations with photos of fascinating work places, all in full color.
