I bought this book for my kids in school, to introduce what a police officer does. They were so excited and thrilled once I finished reading the book. It is very easy to understand and I think it is for all ages because I enjoyed it myself. I highly recommend this book for teachers and parents because your kids are going to love it.
Few books are in print that teach children about our loyal police officers. This is one of them that I have ordered to educate children that the local police protect and serve children and everyone,. The local police are our friends. Maybe someday because of this book and others like it some children will grow up to serve as local police.
Mike, Carl, and Jan have what it takes to serve their town as police officers: the desire to help people, the skills to resolve difficult and sometimes dangerous situations, and the right equipment. Join these dedicated public servants as they respond to a traffic jam, lost child, and a crime scene. Will they get everything under control? This pleasant book makes a great resource for introducing the youngest readers to simple ideas in economics related to jobs and public service.
I can't fully explain the appeal of this book. I mean the images are fun, the "plot" is reassuring and the characters are appealing. But there is something about this book that specially connects for my 5-year-old son.He checked it out 5 times in 7 weeks from his school library and loved it, so much we bought for him. When he has quiet time in his room, this is usually the book he chooses. He loves it so much he still periodically checks it out from the library!
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.
We got this gem out from the library and my 3.5 yo loved it with the rhyming words and I loved the illustrations. It starts out showing each police officer arriving as a 'normal' person changing into uniform and then each helps in a different community service way from helping turtles cross the street to catching bank robbers.
POLICE OFFICERS ON PATROL by Kersten Hamilton, illustrated by R. W. Alley, a fun gentle book to introduce children to their community helpers -- police officers. With fun rhyming language and cute scenes, this book reveals these charming ready-to-go officers. A nice introduction to the "good guys". Worthy.
Rhyming text that occasionally invokes Seuss introduces the reader to a squad of trusty and friendly police officers ready to save the day, no matter how the day needs to be saved. The text is spare and has great pacing, and the engaging illustrations contain loads of great surprises and mini-stories to keep readers coming back. A warm, informative, and entertaining introduction to the local policeman and an indispensable career field!
