Review:

"This is a serviceable title for educators who are teaching about community helpers, and parents can use this story to prepare their children in case they "lose" their grown-ups."

- Booklist

"What makes these books important is that each story focuses on a different character as they go about their daily work, and each day holds a new challenge for these busy people. A section entitled 'Next Steps' is included at the back of the books to prompt further discussion and develop vocabulary as well as information about the characters who work alongside the protagonists."
