Los bomberos

November 1, 2019

K-Gr 2-Four occupations and their valuable contributions to the communities they serve are highlighted in this Spanish language series. Travel Security Administration workers, police officers, firefighters, and paramedics are shown performing everyday duties: making our airports safer, protecting people from violence, putting out fires, and providing speedy medical assistance to those in need. Both men and women are shown in a variety of roles, with ethnic and racial diversity shown as well. Text and color photographs are spaced consistently throughout each book, providing predictability and enhancing narrative skills. The last two pages of each book display pictures and ask readers to review what they've read and what they see, inspiring caregiver-to-child discussion. A table of contents is included, but there is no index. VERDICT Although not comprehensive, this is a good start for a small collection.
