What Does the Principal Do?

Authority figures can be scary for kids when they don’t understand what they do. This book highlights the many ways the principal is there to help everyone, students and teachers alike.

K-Gr 2-Clean design and attractive photography make this a solid series for young readers. Each spread features one page with no more than two simple sentences and a full-bleed photograph. The images nicely complement the texts, showing diverse individuals at work in the various jobs profiled. Every title has three keywords printed in bold throughout the text so that readers can glean definitions while learning. A table of contents and index in each book also provide the opportunity to teach readers about nonfiction elements. These books would work well read aloud or independently and will fit nicely into any school or public library.α(c) Copyright 2014.
