04/01/2016
K-Gr 2—Celebrating the heroic work of civil servants in the United States and around the world, these books allow beginning readers to see the similarities in how these professionals work to make the world a safer place. Simple, straightforward language and sentence structure enable students to quickly digest and understand the material. The clean, uncluttered design allows readers to easily navigate the text, while large, colorful photos introduce them to a diverse, multicultural cast of people. A three-question multiple-choice quiz at the completion of each volume assesses reading comprehension in a low-pressure way (thanks to accompanying visual clues) that will build student confidence. VERDICT First-rate nonfiction that will appeal to readers interested in emergency services as well as those looking for a thrilling read.
