A Landscaper's Tools

Gr 2–4—With its clean, uncluttered design and vibrant photos, this series provides students with an informative look at those who serve the community. Emphasizing what these people wear and the physical tools they use, as well as the work environment, each book sheds light on the various aspects of the job while demonstrating its importance to the community. A white, blue, and yellow color scheme results in a crisp look, while vibrant full-page photo spreads afford readers an up-close look at professionals at work. Sidebars such as "Tool Time!" further explain images while building upon children's existing knowledge. A visual recap of the tools is appended and all are clearly labeled. Although there is no additional content, students are directed to the publisher's website for further information and resources.
