Amazon.com Review
Policeman Small is on the job! This hard-working cop is up at the crack o' dawn to direct traffic and spread cheer with his friendly smile. In one busy day he guides schoolchildren across the street, reprimands a speeding sports car driver, clears the street for an ambulance and a fire truck, writes tickets for drivers involved in an accident, and leads a parade. Even so, this conscientious officer is never too busy to overlook a wayward puppy or hungry kitty. During her lifetime, Newbery Medal recipient Lois Lenski wrote and illustrated more than 90 books for children. Her classic Mr. Small books were well loved by generations of children, and are now making their way back into print in full color for a happy new batch of readers. For more adventures with the gentle Mr. Small, read The Little Auto. (Ages 3 to 6) --Emilie Coulter

an animated look at a busy policeman,

This review is from: Policeman Small (Lois Lenski Books) (Hardcover)
Lois Lenski's _Policeman Small_ illuminates the busy day of a traffic cop of the early twentieth century. Policeman Small directs traffic himself! He carries a sign to work which says STOP on one side, and GO on the other! Certain details of his work date the book as a whole, but my toddler son still loves _Policeman Small_.Small visits the scene of an accident, and sorts things out. Small stops traffic so kittens don't get hit by cars. Small stops a young speeding driver, and cautions him to obey the speed limit. All the various duties of Policeman Small can keep a curious young reader mesmerized. We are invited to watch Policeman Small as he performs all the various duties of the traffic cop; when he retires at the day's end, he is tired. Exhausted parents can sympathize. This is a good book to finish a bedtime storytime. ken32

This review is from: Policeman Small (Lois Lenski Books) (Hardcover)
Policeman Small is a fantastic book that we've been reading to our son since he was 6 months old, and even then he was engaged with all the colors and sounds. Now he's 17 months, and he loves all the exciting pictures of cars and trucks. It was a great learning tool, too-- we went to a parade one day, then showed him the parade in the book, and something clicked. After that, he'd jump right to that page, stand up and look at it smiling and clapping. Lois Lenski's artwork is superb, and I'd love to see more of her books kept in print, especially in this board book format. This is his favorite of the "Small/Little" series of board books. Also recommended: "The Little Train," "The Little Fire Engine" and "Cowboy Small."

This review is from: Policeman Small (Hardcover)
My girls enjoyed this book. My husband is a 3rd generation law enforcement officer and our last name is Small. We really enjoyed the book and got all 3 of our girls a copy and my father-in-law a copy as well. We hope that everyone else enjoys it as much as our Small family did! :)
