Little Kid Reaction: My daughter liked reading about what police do all day. She said it was easy to read and understand. She picked it because she read that it had rhyming text and that made her want to open it and read more. She laughed and stopped to look at the pictures. You could tell she was really enjoying the story.
Big Kid Reaction: I liked the story being a positive look at police and what they can do to help us. The illustrations are beautiful and the text is easy to understand and read. I thought it would bore her to look at a book about police and was pleasantly surprised that she liked it so much.
