"Taking notes, these hands are writing. / Breaking story? How exciting!" Told in rhymes that occasionally stumble, this survey of community helpers includes journalists, farmers, teachers, cooks, and architects. The friendly illustrations feature workers of different races, ethnicity, and ages. The guessing-game format will keep children engaged; this is a good choice for classroom use and one-on-one readings.
