Award-winning author/illustrator Tedd Arnold really brings
nonfiction to life
From a young age many children express an interest in becoming a
vet. However, the classic representation of the profession no
longer fits with the realities of a modern veterinary career.
Children in the 8-12 age group are encouraged to think about career
options through dedicated syllabus programmes at Key Stages 2 and 3
and GCSE choices later on, but there is no veterinary career book
for this age group. To Vet School and Beyond is written in an
easy-to-read format, enabling the book to be a point of reference
right through from pre-GSCE to A level. Bold and interactive, with
plenty of illustrations and sub-sections, the book is a fresh and
modern perspective on the veterinary career. For children who are
curious about the veterinary world. This fun and approachable book
introduces, through profiles of real vets, the different sectors
beyond the familiar small animal/family vet practice in which
veterinarians can work, such as research, fish veterinary, zoo
medicine and charity work. It also provides some guidance in how to
study to get into veterinary school.
