4.0 out of 5 stars Great fire safety tips for preschoolers!, October 28, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Arthur's Fire Drill (Step-Into-Reading, Step 3) (Paperback)

This book teaches a lot of important saftey steps in the event of a fire. My preschool child really enjoys the book and had fun placing the stickers on the appropriate spots. The only drawback is that not enough room is allowed for the stickers, making it impossible to see all the words once the stickers are in place.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Fire Safety Story, April 10, 2002

This review is from: Arthur's Fire Drill (Step-Into-Reading, Step 3) (Paperback)

When I picked this book up from the library, I was worried that it might just be a book version of episode from the episode "D.W. All Fired Up" on the "Arthur" television series. Fortunately, it isn't. It's a unique and beautifully illustrated story about fire safety that teaches children what they need to know and also manages to entertain in the process. D.W. fans will love seeing D.W. in her firefighter's hat as the "fire boss" as well as when she was just a little baby. The story is generally kept pleasant throughout, without arguing between Arthur and D.W. It also has a surprising and satisfying ending.

This review is from: Arthur's Fire Drill (Step-Into-Reading, Step 3) (Paperback)

This is a great book for toddlers, as starting point for fire safety. It'd make an excellent tie in for fire safety day, when the fire department makes an appearance at their school.
From working with a group of preschoolers, on fire safety day, it became clear they were frightened. Though the firemen tried not to scare them, many still were. This book would've been the ticket!!!!
