Featuring over 60 jobs, from soccer players like Takefusa Kubo to talented musicians such as Harami-chan, this encyclopedia is packed with insights directly sourced from professionals.

A Unique Approach to Career Exploration

The ‘Shigoto Tanken Zukan’ is structured into six engaging chapters: Food, Animals, Vehicles, Fashion, Creation, and Human Interaction. This practical design allows children to easily navigate through professions that resonate with their personal interests. A sequel to the previously released ‘Nazenani Karada Zukan’, this book is part of the Wonder Encyclopedia LINK series, which aims to provide age-appropriate knowledge for children aged four to early elementary school. The focus is on empowering children with the essential learning needed to connect their passions to future actions.

Real-World Insights Through Vivid Photography

One of the key features of the ‘Shigoto Tanken Zukan’ is its stunning photographic visuals. Unlike traditional encyclopedias, this book takes a dive into the real lives of professionals, capturing everything from tools of the trade and attire to daily routines and the often-overlooked aspects of various jobs. The insights come alive with interviews that explore why individuals choose their professions and what drives them, making it feel as if the reader is stepping into those work environments. Children will gain a genuine appreciation for the excitement and depth of each career showcased.

Engaging Quizzes and Fun Activities

To enrich the learning experience, each section features unique quizzes and fun astrology-like elements to help kids discover which job suits them best. These interactive activities are designed to make the exploration of future careers not only educational but fun as well.

Expert Insights Behind the Scenes

The book is supervised by Taro Machiyama, a kindergarten director and adjunct lecturer at Tamagawa University’s Faculty of Education. Machiyama brings valuable experience to the project, having previously worked on children’s literature that nurtures curiosity and learning through engaging storytelling. This collaboration ensures the ‘Shigoto Tanken Zukan’ is not just informative but also exciting for young readers.
