Booklist | A Day in the Life of a Traffic Light

Booklist | A Day in the Life of a Traffic Light

by Julie Goldschmie, Booklist

“My job is important. (That is why I’m so bossy!)” So says the traffic light narrating this chatty selection from the A Day in the Life Of . . . series (6 titles) which introduces preschoolers to traffic lights and how they work. The first chapter opens with a photograph of a traffic light with googly eyes superimposed on top. The image is silly, but the information is presented in an engaging but serious way. “All must obey me! I am not kidding. (I would never joke about safety.)” The text focuses on helping kids stay safe as pedestrians. A photo glossary defines unfamiliar words. A quiz at the end reinforces the importance of safety. Ideal for early childhood centers and elementary schools looking to discuss safety and crosswalk etiquette in an approachable way."
