School Library Journal
K-Gr 2—A terrific series for cultivating a sense of civic and economic responsibility at an early age. Hord's books focus on how kids and adults can be responsible and caring at home, school, and in the community. Mitten does an excellent job introducing the concept of economics through everyday experiences and explaining how community members play a role in civic life. Her books dovetail one another quite nicely. One of this series's strongest points is that it will inspire readers and make them feel good about taking part in society at all levels. The simple texts, age-appropriate language, and common themes make these titles welcome additions.
