Editorial Reviews

11/01/2019

K-Gr 3—Readers are introduced to each community organization via brief text and color photographs. People of various skin tones and genders populate each title. Libraries is a bit out of touch, depicting a quiet place to read, though many public and school libraries are not always quiet or focused solely on books. Police Stations portrays a view of cops that may not resonate with some: "People can call the police station if they are in trouble. They know the police will try to help." The standard table of contents, glossary, and index exist in each title; however, in Police Stations the word interrogation isn't defined in context or in the glossary. Open-ended questions prompting discussion or further learning are at the end of the book, as are directions to the publisher's proprietary site for supplemental resources. VERDICT Dated, idealistic content exists in Libraries, Police Stations, and Post Offices, so these are additional purchases at best.
