Editorial Reviews

04/01/2014
Gr 1–3—Like 2008's "Professional Tools" series, this continuation features galleries of adults in various skilled occupations and the gear they use. Here, the focus shifts from scientists to police and rescue workers, including forensic lab technicians, rescue dogs, and a SWAT team. All are shown at work and in roughly balanced mixes of men and women. Most of the full-page photos focus on equipment and vehicles, often with labels added and one-line "Fast Facts" at the top. The main captions run to short but pleasantly specific descriptive statements ("Jason's heart has stopped. Alexa tries to revive him with a defibrillator"). Matching games and sets of quiz questions at the end provide reinforcement as well as tests of comprehension. Is it ever too early to start thinking about career choices?
