About the Author

Tammy Enz became a civil engineer because of her awe of the massive steel bridges that spanned the Mississippi River. She just had to figure out how they worked. Today, she still likes tinkering and figuring out how things work. When she isn't tinkering, she fixes up old houses and conducts experiments in her garden and kitchen. Most of all, she loves reading books about anything and everything and asking 'why?'

Editorial Reviews

Gr 1–3—These books take young readers to a few places that are rarely seen by the general public: the underground sections of shopping malls, hospitals, police stations, and sports stadiums. Each book describes the duties of the various employees in such places, what is held in secret rooms, the types of security used, and how the institution is run. The prose is simple and succinct, and full-color, mostly full-page photos dominate the pages. Children who find such places intriguing, or who have curious minds, will certainly have their appetites whetted by this series but they will need to look elsewhere for more detailed information.—Donna Atmur, Los Angeles Public Library
