book review

What an awesome book for the young child who is interested in fire fighters. This book is full of great illustrations as well as great information about fire fighters. A wonderful addition to your home library.

covers all the 'essentials'

...The illustrations are clear, and the text is in short sentences -- loaded with information without getting 'too much'. We also like it because it's real people, not animals, in the illustrations (Vs. Fire Fighter Piggy Wiggy for example). The story follows a boy as part of a fire company on the mission of fighting a house fire from alarm sounding to putting things away until next time. Our 4-year-old sons love to 'read' this book to each other -- great on car trips!

An imaginitive twist to the emergency vehicle story

A creative storyline and delightful, bold illustrations make this book a real attention-grabber. We now own a library full of fire engine books, and this is one of my 2-year-old's most beloved. The exciting details of a day in the life of a firefighter are told through the vibrant imagination of a young boy. A refreshing break from the anatomical-style vehicle books, yet just as exciting for my little guy.
