Summary: 
Lets Meet A police Officer is about a police officer, officer Gabby that goes to visit a class to tell them all
about police officers. Officer Gabby tells the kids all about the different types of police officers such as,
police officers who work in school, patrol officers, neighborhood officers, FBI agents, and even K-9’s.
She also shares some of the different things they use in order to keep their community safe such as, radios,
cop cars, helicopters, computers, and so much more. At the end of the book officer Gabby tells the class
how they can be apart of the team and help keep the community safe by standing up to bullies, buckling
their seat belts, saying no to strangers, and calling 911 in an emergency. 
I would certainly want to use this book in my class, especially for younger students. It has a lot of great
information about police officers and what all they do for our community which is important for younger
kids to know. This book can be very beneficial for younger kids and I feel as it has some great information
for students to know. 
I believe that this book would be best for students in pre- k to first grade. This book has a lot of great
information about police officers which I feel can be very beneficial for younger students. In addition, I
feel as if all students need to be educated about police officers and this book does a great job at explaining
them and all that they do.It also has very easy to read words as well as easy to comprehend information. 
If I were to use this book in my own classroom I would have my students sit on the carpet and I would
read it aloud to them. I would then ask them questions about police officers and all that they do as well as
answer any of their questions. Next, I would have them draw their own police officer and create their own
story about him/her helping the community.
