5.0 out of 5 stars A simple tale of how Police help our children., September 24, 1999

By A Customer

Young children need direction that enhances community service. This book provides us with a vision of how the occupation of a police officer is more than just protecting the public from criminals. The book provides a simple story that let's us know more about our community servants, the Police Officers.

The graphics are presented in such a way that it seems like a child may have had a hand in the design.

4.0 out of 5 stars A must for every school library, June 2, 2000

By A Customer

This charming little story is a wonderful way to teach young children that police officers can be kind and helpful. The only reason I didn't give this book a five-star rating, is that none of the officers pictured are women! Too bad, because little girls can grow up to be police officers, too. Nevertheless, this is a wonderful book!

5.0 out of 5 stars A nightly reader for my 3-1/2 read-old son., August 29, 1999

By A Customer

This book is a refreshing reminder that police really do more than arrest bad guys. This story of three different officers helping a boy reinforced the positive image that police are here to help, serve and protect.
