Book Description

3 and upAction Packs
Firefighter Frank has one of the most important jobs in the community. Now young children can thrill to the sight of the shiny fire engines all ready to go. They can follow along as Frank keeps his gear in tip-top shape, gives safety tips to visiting children, and cooks supper for the crew. And when the alarm bell clangs, Frank and his team race to the scene to fight the fire and keep everyone safe.

Like Apple Farmer Annie, this picture book, painted with Monica Wellington's trademark color flair, simply and delightfully treats a topic that's already a field-trip fixture. Firefighter Frank also promotes teamwork and safety while celebrating a profession for which admiration is at an all-time high. As appealing as a hook-and-ladder zooming down the street, this book will leap off the shelves faster than booksellers can say, "Where's the fire?"

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 1-This story takes readers through a day in the life of a firefighter, which includes mundane grocery shopping, equipment maintenance, and racing to the call of a fire. The descriptive and instructive tone makes for a story that is best shared one-on-one instead of with a group. A list of fire safety tips from Firefighter Frank is appended. The illustrations are trademark Wellington-full, round, pleasant faces amid brilliant colors. Text sits on the left surrounded by simple images depicted in the scene on the right. For example, on the page that describes the firefighters quickly leaving for the emergency, the boxed text is surrounded by their boots, hats, gloves, oxygen, and so on, opposite a full illustration of the scene. This is a good introduction to the subject, especially if a trip to a firehouse is imminent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Want to be a Firefighter?, March 12, 2003
By 
Jordan Miller (Bay City, Michigan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Firefighter Frank (Action Packs) (Hardcover)
Favorite characters: Firefighter Frank

This book tells about a day in the life of a fireman. Firefighter Frank is the chief firefighter and tells the other firefighters what to do. The firemen travel to a school teaching kids about fire and how to escape from a fire safely. When they are ready to eat, they receive a call and travel to the fire. You will have to read the book to see what the ending is.
This is a great book because you learn about what firefighters think about what they do on an average day. Young kids who dream to be firefighters when they grow up will love this book, and even firefighters who want to teach kids about what firefighters do. Since the terrorist attacks on 9/11, many children admire firefighters and wish to become one when they grow up, this is a great book to teach them about the career.

This review is from: Firefighter Frank (Paperback)
I have two boys, ages 23 months and 3 and a half years old. They both adore this book along with the other Monica Wellington books. The combination of cartoon and real photos makes these books very appealing to kids. We love and have all of them!
