Customer Reviews

My two-year old daughter loves this book.

My two-year old is fascinated with this book, and has been for months. The "fire dogs" work very well for her because she is interested in animals like most children her age. The fact that the fire fighters are dogs adds a playful element to the book. She loves to say "Whoosh" when she sees the hoses at the beginning and end of the book. She also likes the middle two pages which must be turned in a vertical orientation -- once this is done, a scene is revealed that is more dramatic than the rest of the book due to its larger size. From my own experience, I think this book is very appealing to a young audience, and conveys the spirit of fire fighting with as much detail and accuracy as is called for at this age.

This is my 2 1/2 year old boy's favorite book right now

Except for the handsome-looking dalmations that appear in place of people, everything in this book is realistic. My 2 1/2 year old boy loves to repeat the sound of the water whooshing from the hose, and he's excited when he sees a pole he can slide down at the playground, because it's just like the pole in this book's firehouse. For this author, "Fire fighters" is the best hit in our house.
