Are you getting ready for summer adventures? Are you curious about careers that might take you to new places, to meet new people and see exciting new things? With the Ultimate Explorer’s Guide, you can get set to explore the world by land, sea, or sky.

Ultimate Explorer Guide is filled with information and activities. Each section of the book includes a “Help Wanted” section which lists possible careers. This section includes suggestions like zoologist, archaeologist, or oceanographer and gives a brief description of the job. What is even better are the many interviews given by professionals in the field. These are interesting, informative and encouraging.

And at the risk of sounding like a bad infomercial, I am going to add that the book just doesn’t stop there! It is jam-packed with activities that kids – especially those interested in science – are going to love. Learn how to build a worm castle or make a map. You can do an experiment involving erosion or one in which kids can learn how the acidity in water effects shellfish. We are also given Eco-Challenges – suggestions in which we, too, can protect the environment.

Ultimate Explorer Guide is just the interactive kind of book I love. Sure, it’s great to get your kids reading, but it is also great to have them apply that knowledge.
