Praise
Kirkus Reviews
"Bunting expands the horizon of employment opportunities for young girls, judiciously offering a blend of traditional and historically less-traditional female pursuits, firmly putting aside the notion of gender-specific employment....Bloom offers readers a broad spectrum of role models, portraying girls in a range of ethnicities, shapes, and physical characteristics....A treasure that should be on every young girl's bookshelf and maybe on a boy's as well." 09/15/2002 Ruminator Review
"Along with Suzanne Bloom's lively illustrations, which incorporate an encouragingly diverse collection of girls, this title opens up a universe of possibilities for those beginning to explore their dreams." - Lisa Bullard Fall 2002
