Welder is part of Jump!’s Trade Careers series.
This series highlights specialized skilled trades such as welding, plumbing, carpentry, electrical work, mechanics, and masonry, making these careers accessible to early elementary readers. With shorter chapters designed to build confidence, the series provides in-depth information while remaining approachable for younger audiences. Text and photographs alternate throughout the pages, while visual glossaries help readers identify and understand the tools of each trade. Each book includes a simple activity to allow readers to try out the work themselves—like a picture frame-making activity in the carpentry book. True to the publisher’s style, engaging illustrations, infographics, and “Did You Know?” sections are woven into each chapter, making the content both captivating and informative. Men and women are featured in various roles across all trades. VERDICT This series would be a valuable addition to public, middle, and high school library collections.
