Review by Booklist Review

The Community Helpers series (12 titles) provides a solid starting point for young readers who are interested in exploring possible careers. Each title begins by introducing a young child who is interested in the community job discussed and encourages readers to find a professional working in the career and ask them questions. Titles also touch upon each job's origins, salary, and outlook. Nurses discusses the profession's education requirements, pointing out the importance of math and science, valuable personality traits (e.g., empathy and good listening skills) in practitioners, and the important work nurses do in different healthcare settings. In each volume, red, bolded vocabulary words are defined in a glossary, and recommended books and websites are also included. A good introduction into jobs that keep communities running.

Review by School Library Journal Review

Gr 2-5-Going beyond the "usual suspects" when it comes to community helpers, this series profiles 12 different careers in 12 separate books, which will be sure to help fill in any collection gaps. Simple, clear writing is used to paint a complete picture of the community helpers, who are presented as real people. Stressing "who, what, when, where, and why" questions, the titles describe job responsibilities in particular fields (clothes, tools, work environments, etc.) and the steps that one might have to take in order to enter the field, including any schooling/special training. Full-color photos supplement the text, as do captions and text boxes. At the end of each book, readers will find sections for "Learning more" and "Why Don't You Try Being...." Not only will these informative offerings help kids with projects about community helpers, but they might also encourage young readers to think about their own future career prospects.
