Author/Illustrated: Gina Bellisario and Cale Atkinson
Genre: Informational
Age Group: K - 1st
Summary:
In this short informational story, the students meet police officer Gabby and police officer Ken and his K-9. This story explores what officers have to do on a day to day basis and different things the students can follow. It also goes into detail about what technology officers use to help cities safe from crime. As the book progresses it talks about FBI agents, which they describe as people who protect the country. They sum up the book to talk about what to do to keep a neighborhood safe in day to day life.
In my classroom I would use this book to talk about different professions there are in the world. I would probably do a weekly book read over the different jobs people can have just to get the kids interested. If I was starting the weekly book reads with this book I would have the students write on a sentence strip "When I grow up I want to be a ... " and then they would finish it. I would hang it up around the classroom once they were finished.
I think the age group is appropriate because I think it is good to have the young students thinking about the different possibilities that are out there.
