Gr. 2-4. So You Want to Be an Inventor? (2003), the follow-up to St. George and Small's Caldecott Medal-winning So You Want to Be a President? (2000), attracted some criticism for lionizing white males. Explorer improves upon that problem (five women make appearances, as do Colonel Peary's African American assistant Matthew Henson and Sherpa mountaineer Tenzing Norgay), but encounters another: How does one craft a light, fun picture book about an area of endeavor so closely aligned with the checkered history of conquest? Humor is one way: St. George writes that Africa traveler Mary Kingsley "studied the cannibals, and they studied her." Elsewhere, explorers are crisply divided into "good" and "bad"; "good" explorers "respect the natives," and "bad explorers can do the natives in." The glib tone may seem inappropriate to some, but teachers and librarians will still find lots of uses for this book. The annotated list of featured explorers and the bibliography will support exploration research projects, and St. George's gung-ho language combined with Small's sprightly depictions will help ratchet up student enthusiasm.
