Sometimes people need help, so it's a good thing there's so many kinds of police officers! Bright and positive, this rhyming story follows Sargeant Santole as he dispatches his officers around town. Broken traffic lights, lost children, and bank robberies are all tended to by the traffic, mounted, and crime patrols. "Situation? Under control. 'When people need help, we rock and roll!'"
Kersten Hamilton is fabulous at writing very short, action-packed, fun-filled books for preschool children. This is another winner, especially for boys who will love getting a look at what police officers do. The officers (including a woman) are competent, energetic and friendly. The bright, fairly simple illustrations back up the story well.
This would probably be a good read aloud for young toddlers. The text is very simple and the drawings are bright. Various types of officers are shown, including mounted police. The refrain, "When people need help, we rock and roll!" is not my favorite thing ever, but overall, I think kids will respond well to the book.
I'll admit it, I couldn't help singing out loud the words, it's that catchy.
Also, it says "we rock and roll", how more awesome can this book get?
A nice, dynamic read to teach young children the different kind of police officers that go on patrol and the situations they can help you with. Really cute.

Even though I am generally not a fan of cops and find these kinds of books boring this is a cute one. The illustrations are adorable and the rhyming text makes all the difference. A cute story all around.
This will be fabulous for anyone doing a unit on public servants. This is written in ryhme and the illustrations are fun. This is a great story about police officers and a few of the things they do. Ages 2+
PERFECT. Pictures match the story perfectly, rhymes match up perfectly... fun fun fun!!!

Lively book about police work with fun, rhyming text and enjoyable illustrations of a multiethnic team of police in their community.
Good for toddler/preschool aged kids to teach about what police officers do within the community. Rhyming text and short sentences.
"good review, community helpers, shows police using in three different situations using different transportation"
I think this would be quite appealing to toddler boys, but her use of near rhyme was a problem for me. I'm not a fan of it.
Great for my son who wants to be a police officer when he grows up. Rhyming and repetitive. 3 years and up.
Fun introduction to the roles of police officers, with a repeating phrase and lots of rhyme.
Nice for the community helper units in preschool and early elementary.
Catchy rhymes, great for kids! Would be good for career day book.
Lots of fun with a great pattern to the words.
good for toddler storytime.
Cute.
