 Rating:  - I'm a fan of DK booksThey're simple. They're informative. They're cheap. If your child is too young to read, they're perfectly good read-aloud books. What more can you ask for when stocking your kid's library? This book features a female police officer (a nice touch) going about her (mostly uneventful) daily routine. She does some emergency traffic direction, tells her nephew about the various ways cops get around, helps a kid get home, and captures an escaped bear. The last one ...

It is very hard to find any toys or books with motorcycle cops. I ordered this book hoping it would have at least a picture of one, and I wasn't disappointed! It briefly tells about and includes pictures for different kinds of police, including police on motorcycles, bikes and horses. The rest of the book is good, too.

We even meet Joey's favorite police dog! During Aunt Ann's day, she rescues a lost boy and even catches a bear who escaped from the zoo! The photographs are excellent, and the review of terminology with a picture dictionary is proof of the careful preparation that went into this volume. Rating: - A New Favorite for an Officer's NieceI am an officer, and was thrilled to find a book featuring a female police officer.

I thought her mom would scream when my niece's favorite word became "badge", and she pointed out every emergency vehicle she saw out on the roads when they went for drives. This book helped my niece become much more verbal, and helps show ... Read More
