PreS-Gr 2—Easily identifiable occupations in a community (teacher, police officer, farmer) are featured amid full-page photographs accompanied by simple sentences, about four to six words each. Highly visual, the text here is mainly a caption for the photos of adults engaged in work tasks, such as a pastry chef baking, an officer directing traffic, or a veterinarian tending to a puppy on an examining table. Some photos label parts of a uniform or tools of the trade (wrench, badge, oven mitts) in a diagram. A few bubbled critical thinking questions "Why do construction workers wear tool belts?" can hone inference skills from photo clues. The picture glossary at the end of each volume is small but adequate.
This serviceable series covers a good variety of community-helping careers. Each book has brightly colored pages; large type; and cheery stock photos featuring men, women, and kids of different ethnicities. Some volumes are overly simplistic (Farmers, for instance), but question bubbles will help young readers think more about the topics. A photographic "tools" guide is appended. Reading list. Glos., ind. Review covers the following Bumba Books: Hooray for Community Helpers! titles: Hooray for Nurses!, Hooray for Pilots!, Hooray for Police Officers!, Hooray for Teachers!, Hooray for Chefs!, Hooray for Construction Workers!, Hooray for Farmers, and Hooray for Veterinarians!.
