First published in 1962 and reissued and recolored in 2001, POLICEMAN SMALL is now available as a board book.

Policeman Small gets to see a lot of what goes on in town. He's at his post, directing traffic, by six o'clock in the morning. On one busy day, Policeman Small makes sure the town's kids get to school safely. He also helps an ambulance and fire truck get through the intersection, and even leads a parade on his motorcycle. During the rush, Policeman Small spreads his cheer by saying hello to all the people passing in cars.

Praise for Policeman Small

(The Lois Lenski reissues) have been smartened up with full-color treatment. I wasn't sure how today's sophisticated children would respond to Mr. Small's cheerful, tidy world, but I needn't have worried. Two-year-olds will always gravitate to simply told tales featuring vehicles and their operators, no matter how old-fashioned they appear to be. These titles will grab hold of their intended audience.--Recommended Reissues:Characters You Can Count On, The Horn Book Magazine (September/October 2001)

"Mr. Small is an American institution."--Parents magazine
