COPY ISBN
Gr 2–5—In these thrilling volumes readers are introduced to six public service careers that are dangerous but necessary. Infomation on the education/training required and equipment and tools used provide students with a clear understanding of just how specialized (in both skill and commitment) these jobs are. Action photos, including an image of SWAT team members rappelling down a building, are memorable and illustrate the risky nature of the occupations. "Fast Fact!" sidebars offer bite-sized information that supports and advances the primary text in an engaging way. The inclusion of less-covered careers, such as smokejumper and air marshal, is a refreshing choice.
VERDICT Solid options to fill collection gaps.
