Editorial Reviews

04/01/2018
PreS-Gr 2—Designed to meet national social studies standards for early learners, this newly revised series (now compatible with an app) explores the different places within a community where people might go for goods or services. Each title introduces subject-specific vocabulary and uses repetition of certain phrases and words to help prereaders gain comfort with the material. The series is filled with factual, to-the-point information and keeps things generic enough to work in a variety of community settings. The Library doesn't mention programming as an essential service of libraries, and the majority of photographs in The Police Station are of white police officers; negative associations with cops are not mentioned. VERDICT Consider for replacing older editions of similar materials in larger public libraries.
