Summary: Community helpers and their tools and places of work
Review: This was an excellent book for introducing not only the community helpers, but the tools they use and the places where they work. My second graders were able to list the names of the helpers, but seeing the real-life children dressed in uniforms or typical dress for that helper really attracted attention. Not only does this book list the helpers, but it appealed to my children because the models were about the same age. It exposed them to the types of tools used and was a big help when they wanted to spell a type of tool--they started using those research skills to find the correct spellings. This is an excellent resource!
