This series details the who, what, and where of communities, describing what everyday life is like as well as the experiences of helpers such as police officers, firefighters, doctors, and trash collectors. The series also underscores the importance of education and training for specific careers and allows readers to see their own place in society and how people must work together to help a community function (and have some fun while they're at it). Text boxes with supplemental facts (and some jokes) pepper the narratives, which are clear, well flowing, and informative. A 'What Did You Learn?' section with true/false questions at the end of each book helps readers recap and absorb the material. VERDICT <strong>A useful series that deals with community issues in an engaging way.</strong>--<em>School Library Journal </em></p>-- "Journal" (11/1/2015 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><p>The Start Smart: Community series offers readers a way to think about where they live, who helps them, and what it means to be an effective part of their communities. <em>Being a Good Citizen </em>explains in simple language hwo their world is arrange and advises kids on how to find way to help their communities, including volunteerism and environmentalism. <em>People Who Help </em>covers the usual suspects: firefighters, medical personnel, and crossing guards. Teachers and librarians seem an odd omission, though. <em>Places We Go </em>invites readers to take a look inside the local buildings that are a part of their everyday lives. The importance of the institutions is paired with information about those who work there. <em>Things We Do</em> offers a boatload of activities, though not all may be available in every community--and most do cost money: movies, live theater, parks, sporting events, and museums. All the books contain straightforward text sprinkled with "fun facts" and a colorful design with resources.</p>-- "Journal" (9/1/2015 12:00:00 AM)<br>
