Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreS-Gr 3--A simple text and appealing watercolor illustrations make fire fighters real and interesting to young readers. Bourgeois describes a fire at an apartment building from the first signs of smoke to the mop-up job at the end. She also discusses life in the fire station and how fires are fought in forests, in the countryside, and on water. There is no glossary but the vocabulary is easily understood through the context and the pictures. Clearly stated safety tips make the book valuable for fire-safety units. Although many titles about this topic are available, the lively writing and appealing illustrations make this one a worthwhile addition.

This review is from: Fire Fighters (In My Neighborhood) (Paperback)
With all the fireman, fire truck themed books we have (and I buy everyone I can find) this is my least favorite.
