Liesbet Slegers (1975, Belgium) studied Graphics and Illustrations at the Saint-Lucas institute of Antwerp. She works as a fulltime graphic designer and illustrator. With her simple, recognizable style and vivid colours she knows how to attract the attention of every toddler. In her many books, Slegers frequently focuses on “the first experience of a toddler,” a time she characterized as “exciting but also very scary! I try to help them with my books,” she added, “and also try to give the parents or teacher some assistance!”
"Young students will find this book delightfully informative, very
interesting, and most inspiring.
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

"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
