Books to Read

  • Helpers in my Community by Bobbie Kalman, ISBN 9780778794448
    This book talks about what a community is, who community helpers are, what communities need, and who helps to fill those needs. It discusses builders, electricians, plumbers, teachers, librarians, crossing guards, school bus drivers, nurses, principals, caretakers, medical helpers, dentists, paramedics, firefighters, police officers, and volunteers.
  • Jobs of a Preschooler by Brigitte Brulz, ISBN 978-1545530719
    There are many jobs a parent may do throughout his or her day. A parent may be a chef (someone has to make the meals to eat), a teacher (learning doesn’t happen only at school), and a driver (for all those places where walking would take way too long). But parents aren’t the only ones with these jobs—preschoolers may do them, too! Join a busy preschooler as she experiences many jobs throughout her day. Is it work, or is it play? This book has only one sentence per page and rhyming text. Free coloring pages to go along with this book are available here.
  • Show Me: Community Helpers by Clint Edwards, ISBN 9781620659182
    This book includes police officers, firefighters, emergency medical technicians, doctors, nurses, pharmacists, dentists and hygienists, veterinarians, teachers, librarians, school bus drivers, cafeteria workers, construction workers, and electric utility workers. Each community helper section offers vocabulary words that go along with that community helper. For example, the police officer section talks about what police officers do and defines a fingerprint, crime, jail, holster, police car, siren, flashlight, two-way radio, badge, and handcuffs.
