This police children's book is about two young brothers that find their police dad’s boots by the door. They are excited, because it means their dad is home to play with him. This police kids book takes place in the morning through the eyes of children of a police officer. They imagine what their police dad does at work- fighting crime. When their dad wakes up, they quickly tell him all about their day yesterday while he’s in uniform. He plays with them. Then, one brother waddles around the house wearing the large work boots. Then, his police dad shines the boots and puts them over his black socks to get ready to go to work. The brothers express sadness that their dad is going to work again. Their mom comforts them and tells them about all the fun things they will do that day.
