Community Helpers of the Past, Present, and Future (Imagining the Future)

Everyone knows that today's fire trucks have flashing lights and blaring sirens. In the early 1900s, horses pulled fire trucks. And in the future, firefighters might be robots! Author Linda Bozzo shows community helpers—doctors, police officers, librarians and more—contrasting the helpers of long ago with those of today showing change over time. Colorful, humorous drawings encourage readers to think about what community helpers of the future might be like.
