Great kids book

This book is great for showing children (and adults) how different areas fight fires, ie. a barn fire, a dock fire, a building fire. There realistic illistrations. It shows all different equipment used in fighting fires. Good good and recommended for preschool/kindergarten age.

Great Firetruck Book!

Just another rave review for this book, any little boy will love it!

My son's all-time favorate fire fighting book -- mine too!

My son judges a bookstore or library by number and quality of fire engine books. This book is our favorite. There is information in this book that is not in any other book we've read (and we have read many) and still it is an easy read. Gail Gibbons does a great job packing information into 4-8 year old bite sized pieces.

Fire! Fire! Awesome! Awesome!

I purchased this book for my 3 year old son with the intent to acquaint him with exactly what firefighters and their apparatus do. I recently joined our local volunteer fire department and my son has been afraid of the sirens of our nearby station for a while now. This book was a big hit with him and me! This book organization of this book gives it 4 sections for paid (city), volunteer (country), forest and harbor departments. My son loves the illustrations and sits and listens intently to the descriptions. Each page contains illustrations displaying smoke detectors, hoses, personnel, and fire equipment that are all well labeled. This is a must buy if you need a firefighters book for your child!

All kinds of fire fighters!

My 5.5 yr old son LOVES this book! He renewed it for four weeks at the school library before they made him turn it in, and then cried about it. The book teaches kids about different kinds of fire fighters. Most of us think of a fire fighters down at the fire station but it also encompasses smoke jumpers, water front fire fighters and more. I found it interesting to read to him too.
