Editorial Reviews

11/01/2016
PreS-Gr 2—Appealing to emergent readers, seven different workers are featured in each title. For example, librarian, janitor, counselor, principal, nurse, teacher, and teacher's aide are the subjects in School. Full-page photos show a variety of adults in uniform. Some wear a hard hat, stethoscope, or other familiar tools of the trade as visual indicators of their job. Very brief sentences act as captions for the action. Some titles feature children being tended to by smiling nurses, counselors, or aid workers. Despite the uninspiring stock photos, there is a timeless simplicity to this series that will extend its shelf life. In the further information section, a publisher-vetted website and password are offered for guided inquiry. VERDICT A supplemental purchase.
