I just discovered this series, and in working with elementary age (and younger and older), I see this as an excellent and much-needed series to help introduce and reinforce real-life skills that prepare kids for real-world jobs, with tips of all kinds throughout on gathering more information.

I see kids putting unrealistically high expectations on themselves, and fierce competition with peers, and this series offers a fun, inactive, utterly engaging view, and kids learn valuable skills like how to communicate with one another and how “teamwork” works. Really love and recommend this series.

Very helpful little book geared for upper primary or middle school. I will use the principles in teaching my students critical thinking and problem solving.
