A vibrantly illustrated, interactive book following Tony on a journey of learning and imagination as he discovers, step-by-step, how to think and play like a police officer.

In an effort to get children to unplug and play in a technology driven society, the authors' mission is to help transform reading into meaningful pretend play by teaching children to have their very own police officer adventure, just like Tony! The full page illustrations and text offer opportunities for child participation and discussion throughout the story.

Tony is a little boy who wants to play police officer, but, how? Through thematic vocabulary and colorful, realistic pictures, kids will actively follow along with Tony and learn what police officers do, where they work, what they wear, what special equipment they need and all the ways they help the community. Once Tony thinks about all the things he knows about police officers, he can imagine himself as one too. Now he's ready to gather up his police toys and save the day! With a handy parent's guide and colorful cut-out sequence pictures at the end of the book, children can also pretend to be police officers and have their very own adventures too.

Promoting quality family time for children and adults, the Police Officer Tony book is the third of 10 in the Think & Play the Social Scouts WayTM series to do just that. Kids love it for the bright pictures and adventures; adults love it for the creativity and play it brings to a child's mind. Great for preschool-aged children and adults alike, encouraging everyone to unplug, read, pretend and play.
