Simple text and vibrant photos engage very young readers in learning about the tools police officers use to serve their community. About one-third of the featured officers are females, and there is an assortment of photographs of different types of officers (including a K-9 police dog) and assortment of uniforms. Age-appropriate critical thinking questions are a nice addition to the information. This book would be useful to begin a discussion about the police and the scary looking tools they use for preschool and early elementary students. Part of the Community Helpers Tools of the Trade series.
