Reviews

[Paxton Madison · Rating 5 out of 5]

I liked this book because my grandpa was a police officer and my uncle is still a police officer and it explained how much they help and how they are good people. It is a short book which kind of stinks because I would like to know more about the other types of police officers and see what they do.

A really good informational book to inform young children about police officers.

[Jessica]

Great book for educating young children on the job responsibilities of police officers. What they do, wear, how they get around and ways that they help people are all described in simple terms. With photographs of police in different situations, the book provides plenty of information for young minds.
