What a police officer actually does, and how firefighters get people out of danger, are the sort of questions this pop-up book sets out to answer.
Flaps and pop-ups open onto different lines of work, pairing each job with a short account of the tasks it involves and the tools it depends on. The format rewards poking about: information arrives because a child chose to lift something, which tends to stick better than information simply printed on a page. Sturdy mechanisms mean the flaps survive the enthusiasm they invite.
How it reads:
• Lift-up flaps and pop-ups that reveal one occupation at a time
• Straightforward facts about everyday jobs and the equipment behind them
• Easy-lift mechanisms built to take repeated opening
• A discovery format that suits children who ask a lot of questions
Written for inquisitive young learners at home or in a classroom, and a practical choice from Boipoka.
