Ages 4^-7. Michelle wants to grow up to be a police officer like her dad. Bright color photographs and a simple text show how she and her brother, David, visit their father at the East Hampton village police station and spend the day with him at his work. Dad patrols the small town: "He knows everybody." He wears a bulletproof vest, but there's no danger or violence. He finds a lost dog, checks a car for speeding, calls an ambulance when a kid falls off his bike, and directs the traffic at the school crossing. It's an idyllic scene, and this girl wants to be part of it.
