K-3Bumba Books: Hooray for Community Helpers! series.
This serviceable series covers a good variety of community-helping careers. Each book has brightly colored pages; large type; and cheery stock photos featuring men, women, and kids of different ethnicities. Some volumes are overly simplistic (Farmers, for instance), but question bubbles will help young readers think more about the topics. A photographic "tools" guide is appended. Reading list. Glos., ind. Review covers the following Bumba Books: Hooray for Community Helpers! titles: Hooray for Nurses!, Hooray for Pilots!, Hooray for Police Officers!, Hooray for Teachers!, Hooray for Chefs!, Hooray for Construction Workers!, Hooray for Farmers, and Hooray for Veterinarians!.
