The process of being an archaeologist is thoroughly explained step by step. The excitement of being an archaeologist is shared in a mist positive manner. This is a great STEM book to be included on the elementary level. Illustrations portray childhood expressions beautifully. The suggestion of "Buried Treasure" is a wonderful project for any level." - Kathleen B. Horstmeyer, ITEEA "Wow such a fun little book about being an archaeologist. Archeology is my favourite topic and this book gives an insight in what being an archaeologist means . Very intriguing and interesting.This book will definitely peak interest in this field." - Book junction Pakistan "My little one LOVED Liesbet Slegers books when she was a preschooler. In fact, the first book she ever read to me was 'Katie Goes to the Doctor.' This new title, Archeologists and What They Do, is a fun book with lots of great vocabulary and adorable illustrations." - Rolling Prairie Readers "Digging deep and discovering history turns into fact-filled fun in this lovely description of what an archaeologist does. Starting with the basics like what an archaeologist wears, this book dives into the profession and describes the various aspects of an archaeologist's job and life. From finding a place where history might be found to start the dig to labeling and categorizing, the fun and more serious sides of the profession are addressed while keeping excitement alive. This is my first peek at this series, and if the rest of the books are like this one, then I'm giving it a big two thumbs up. The first pages start out by directly connecting to young readers with something they can relate to. In this case, it was dress-up as a princess or a knight. Then, it quickly sweeps into the question of what things really might have been like back then (food? homes?) and dives into what might lie buried under a play area outside...everything from toys to spoons...and then, to a skeleton with a crown. It's such a lovely and playful way to draw young listeners in and gives them a way to connect to the information which follows. The description of the archaeologist's job stays more on the excavating end of things, which is fine and really the side which captures kids' interest most. Everything from an archaeologist's clothes to tools to living quarters to a little paperwork is described in an easy to understand way and does not grow boring, either. Each page is accompanied by a simple but clear illustration to help make the details described in the text clearly. Plus, every illustration holds a joyful atmosphere, making sure the job receives a more positive vibe. I found the information was delivered in a way that young listeners can understand and learn from. There are some aspects of the job they probably hadn't thought about before. This also ends with the reminder that artifacts are found in museums (which could tie it in so nicely with a field trip!). To top it of...and a favorite part of mine...there's a do-it-yourself activity at the end, in which kids can bury their own artifacts. And I'm sure some will want to start their own excavation attempts, too. I see this as a great way to introduce the profession of an archaeologist to kids and see even homeschoolers enjoying this one." - Bookworm for Kids PRAISE FOR LIESBETH SLEGERS' PILOTS AND WHAT THEY DO: "This book does a great job of teaching your toddler what a pilot does. You will have opportunity to interact with your child as well as some elements mentioned in the book will need to be explained further. It also encourages children to imagine what they might want to be when they grow up. This book also features lovely, colorful artwork that is great for toddlers." - First Time Parent Magazine "A great book for a toddler that is interested in planes or about to go on their first flight." - Taryn Villareall, The Overly Attached Reader “5 out of 5 stars.” - Christina Mapes, Easily Entertained "This book does a great job of teaching your toddler what a pilot does.
