Reviews
This is a high interest series which attracts readers with vibrant photographs. The books emphasize not only the importance of each job, but also the inherent dangers involved. They begin by showing the heroes in action. Subsequent sections include information unique to each job, including equipment and skills needed. The books conclude with a section about how to protect yourself from danger and resources for more information. Featuring full-color and close-up photographs, this series is sure to be a hit, especially with young boys who are enthralled with the prospect of danger and heroes. Short paragraphs and sentences make the books accessible to newly independent readers. This series would be a terrific addition to any primary nonfiction collection. Readers will come away with a strong sense of respect for the work and the workers. Recommended. -- Kristine Wildner, Librarian, Holy Apostles School, New Berlin, Wisconsin Library Media Connection Online Aug/Sept 2012; Vol. 31, No. 1, (4) K-3 Heroic Jobs series. Disaster and Mountain describe basic rescue operations undertaken by specially trained personnel following natural disasters, including floods, earthquakes, and avalanches. Special Forces briefly recounts military rescue missions performed by special forces operatives during wars or following acts of terrorism. Clear photographs accompany the large-font, lackluster texts. "Did You Know?" boxes proved additional information. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind. Luther B. Clegg The Horn Book Guide Fall 2012 issue, High-profile disasters meet high-interest jobs. Well-organized texts with short, simple sentences set against white backgrounds ensure easy readability. The on-scene photos are exciting but not violent. Many show specialized equipment, but they are inconsistently captioned. The glossaries provide a confusing selection of vocabulary words, e.g., in Fires, "burn" is defined but "collapse" is not, and some definitions are poorly written, e.g., in Crime, "illegally" is defined as "do something that is against the law." Some volumes include relevant safety tips, though these can be puzzling-Fires suggests checking smoke detectors once a week, which seems excessive (FEMA's website recommends once a month). Though flashy and eye-catching, many flaws weaken this set. - Rebecca Dash Donsky, New York Public Library School Library Journal April 2012 Issue
