K-3In My Neighborhood series.
Illustrated by
Kim LaFave.
Using stories about two children's interactions with police officers and postal workers, these books give young readers a solid understanding of what these community helpers do. The subject matter, of great interest to children and teachers, is presented clearly and is detailed without being overwhelming. The sketchy watercolor and ink illustrations help convey information--particularly when they go behind the scenes at the post office.
