BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH 

When you hear first responder, most people jump to police, fire, and medical, but Austin reveals the wide variety of people whose jobs are also first responders: where they work, the tools of the trade, etc. 

I love his illustrative style – simple and linear, but textured and interesting. The text is also simple – mostly labels, with just a bit of explanation. Sure to be a reread and self-exploration title.
