This exceptional and informative non-fiction pick is for young readers who love robots or who have never even thought about robots--really, for every young reader. Vocabulary words in the glossary help kids understand jargon of robotics and various trades that work with robots in unique fields.
There are several types of engineers who build and use robots: mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, and software engineers. Some other jobs in robotics are animatronic technicians and robotics research scientists. Robots are found on movie sets, in hospitals, at industrial sites, in warehouses, construction sites, and even in protheses, artificial limbs for people who have lost an arm or leg. Using sensors, the prothesis moves the way a body part does.
The publisher ages this book at five to seven years old, but this reviewer feels a wide range of ages would gain knowledge about careers in fields they may know little about.
Recommended age 6 and up to middle school. Illustrations and glossary make this a great choice for reluctant readers.

Kids who love robots are living at an excellent time in history. Maybe they'll appreciate this fact all the more after reading this easy reader.
What do I mean by an excellent time in history? Entire generations of children could have begun a book, "If You Love Dinosaurs, You Could Be . . ."
Only where are the jobs for that? Unless you plan to become a paleontologist. Or else you want to sit around and cry your heart out!
BY CONTRAST
Kids today have much better opportunities, should they fall in love with robots. This book gives an overview of the careers they could have. Such as?
* Robotics MECHANICAL Engineer
* Robotics SOFTWARE Engineer
* Robotics ELECTRICAL Engineer
Additional careers are summarized on Page 32. And wow!
FIVE STARS for this practical, straight-talking book.

A leveled reader that gives readers a quick taste of the kinds of things a robotics mechanical engineer, an electrical engineer working with robots, and a systems engineer working with robots would do. The back of the book briefly outlines 5 other occupations that also work with robots.
We don't have any other career books about some of these occupations, and I could see them being of high interest to little robot lovers. It also suggests ways they can dip a toe into these fields now.

If you want to work with robots you should be an engineer.
