Jemima Sweet the Police Officer

A rather charming collection of stories about a young black woman police officer and the everyday events of her working life. These are rather tame compared with, say, The Bill, but they're all the sort of activities young children will be used to seeing the police engaged in; traffic duty, school road safety talks, even dealing with a bag snatcher in the park (there's a sponge cake involved... but I won't spoil it for you). All right, it lacks guns and car chases but I see this as a bonus. Good for reading aloud or for young fluent readers to tackle themselves.
