Description
What if the next great electrician is sitting in your lap right now?
Join Paula Bunyan and her curious sidekick, Timber the purple goat, on a vibrant, rhyming adventure from A to Z! Together, they introduce young readers to the real words of the trade — ampere, circuit, voltage, and more — in a way that's playful, memorable, and just plain fun.
Research shows children begin forming ideas about careers as early as age three. This book puts skilled trades on that early map, sparking STEM curiosity, building vocabulary confidence, and teaching kids to respect the hands-on work that powers our world.
Perfect for reading aloud at home, in the classroom, or as a cozy bedtime story — for ages 2–6+.
Every big career starts with a small spark. Light one today.

This book was very well written. Interesting to learn about the different part of being an electrician at a child's level. Love the purple goat. My daughter at the end of the book "That book was AMAZING!".

Someone I babysit for is in the trades and so I thought this would be fun to sit down and flip through with their daughter. I was right! She recognized some of the things her dad has done/mentioned/used and so she was really excited to show him all she learned.
Thank you NetGalley for helping me teach something new while learning stuff myself along the way
This is a wonderfully illustrated alphabet book focusing on things around what an electrician does. The text includes a new word to learn and a short rhyming phrase to state something about the concept. The illustrations are detailed and try to act out the word.
I think it's very cute. Absolutely a book intended for children who might be exposed to this profession, or just open to learning about trades in general.
I do think the language is a bit clunky at times. A parent reading this out loud to their kid would notice and trip over a bunch of the phrases. Overall, it's a good introduction to electricity, and highly educational regardless.
