Designed for primary and middle-grade kids who are learning to read, this brightly illustrated book from the Federal Protectors series (6 titles) provides basic information about the Secret Service. Topics covered include its history and the training of its agents, its special agents, and their canine partners. Lowell stresses their mission of protecting U.S. presidents as well as foreign leaders when they visit America but also mentions that the agency deals with crimes involving counterfeit currency. The page design varies, with some double-page spreads featuring a photo on one side facing several lines of relatively simple, large-print text on the other. One spread lists the personal names and drawings of the last seven U.S. presidents with their Secret Service code names. A brief, appreciative, visually dynamic introduction to America’s Secret Service.
