I am an officer, and was thrilled to find a book featuring a female police officer. In one week it became my niece's favorite book, having me read it over and over to her. She recognized the pictures highlighting special words, and even recognizes the same things in real life. 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 her that female officers are positive role models, just like me.

I bought this book in bulk to pass out to twenty kindergarten kids following a presentation I did about being a police officer. The writing is perfect for their level, and I think that the kids really like the color photos.

My 2 year old is a huge fan of police and firefighters, but he especially loves motorcycle police. 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. If you have a kid that's into police, this book would be a great addition to your collection!

Joey's Aunt Ann is a police officer and through her nephew's eyes the reader learns about a police officer's day, tools of the trade and all the different kinds of police officers there are. 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.

My daughter loves emergency vehicles and community helpers so this book is right up her alley. Imagine how thrilled I was that it was a female officer....THANKYOU DK!

Great book for preschool kids interested in police officers. It explains a variety of police activities interesting for preschoolers or those starting to read. I love this whole series.

They'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 is a little unrealistic - I mean, how often do bears escape from the zoo, anyway? - but it's well-written enough that I can overlook that part.
