Rescue: A Police Story // Book Review

As I have stated before, I love first responders🚓🚑🚒 So, yes, today I have another book review about one of my favorite groups of people…POLICEMEN!🚔

(Shout out to Rebekah D. for telling me about this book and to her younger brother, Timothy D. for letting me borrow his book! Thanks, Buddy! And I don't blame you for wanting to keep the sticker! :D)

Rescue: A Police Story
By Alison Hart
(2002)
Five Stars

Overall: An armed robbery is in progress, there are hostages, and the police must rescue them. It’s an excellent overview of what our law enforcement does every day to keep up safe.

I loved the attention to detail and the obvious respect for law enforcement! Well explained on a child’s level, shows the dangers without getting gory or too intense. I loved it!

There were a couple of things that I didn’t care for. As far as layout, there were several explanation boxes about technical terms in the story. I wish it had been explained in the text or in the glossary instead of the boxes. There were also some references to luck and a little name-calling, done in jest. Not really dirty or anything, but a little annoying, just so you know. (Certainly don't want little eyes picking up on those names, in fun or not!)


Have a blessed week and thank a policeman if you get a chance!
