Huge hit with my nephew(s)!!!!!!

I chose this book for my two-year old greatnephew, Ansel, last Christmas - he looked and tossed it aside. But now his mother tells me it is THE bed time pick! I had thought it was a great balance of pictures with just enough text, and a quick moving story, and she agrees. Apparently it is the every night choice! Now my other niece says they have had to buy a copy for the other greatnephew, Paul....in fact, she tells me my younger niece said if the house were on fire, this is the book they'd save. Of course, not to worry, as the Fire Bears would save them all first!

Four Year old loves this book

Our four year old grandson loves this book and wants it read to him over and over and over again. A real winner.

Fire Station Number 8

Fire Bears is another good book by Greene for children of all ages. The bears are dedicated firemen and they rescue animals and people. The rhythm of the story keeps the little ones interested until the end. Then they want to read it again. The colors and the illustrations are fun.

very imporatant and close to my heart

Firebears are firemen bears that protect and serve in their area. The book shows what life in like at the station when the bears are waiting for a fire call. The first call they go on is to rescue a kitten from a tree. The next time they are called to fire at a business. After that fire is out they are called to another fire. This one is at someone home. The firefighters get the bears out safely and put out the fire. Then it's back to the station to await the next call! I like that the bear fire fighters in the book were shown doing more than just putting out fires. Lots of kids think that is all they do. Yes we would. Fire safety is very important. This simple picture book is a gentle way to introduce kids to fire fighters and the jobs that they do.
