Inspiring and captivating! August 10, 2003
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
What an exciting yet simple book this is! The text is easy for the 4 to 8 year old to understand and illustrations are clear, colorful, and will capture any small child who is intrigued with firefighters. I really enjoyed the author's note at the end of the book - don't miss that!
Not just another firetruck book July 16, 2002

Lots and lots of interesting pictures not seen in other firefighting books - these focus on the fire fighters and the job they do rather than the trucks. This book also gently introduces the idea that fighting fires is DANGEROUS - fire fighters must continuously test the floors for weakness, do a primary search to locate people before the hoses ever get turned on, chop holes in the roof to let explosive gasses out, etc., which has opened up some very educational discussions with my sons. A valuable addition to our firefighting collection - one that gets read at least once a day.
My son loved it! August 22, 2001

Great pictures, great way for a 4 year old boy who swears he is going to be a fireman to learn his letters. Terrific!

If there was some way to give this book more than 5 stars, I would. My 5 year old son has read this book so many times that we both have it memorized. The illustrations are wonderful, the text easy enough for a beginning reader, yet challenging enough that my 8 year old neighbor loves it as well. He explains the unfamiliar terms in the Author's Notes in the back of the book. What a fantastic book!

Written by a trained fireman, this exciting alphabet book realistically takes the reader through a fire fighter's day as it goes through the alphabet. Its rhymes are unforced, written in natural language. Firefighting vocabulary is explained. The illustrations capture the excitement of firefighting. Includes an illustration of equipment and further informative fire fighting facts in an author's note. This book is sure to become a favorite.
