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.

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.

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

This is a really nice book to learn about firefighters. The pictures are bright. The fire is really vivid and a couple of the pages might scare really young children. It would be a good tool for teacher's to use during Fire Prevention Week.

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!

If your child loves firefighters, then you must buy this book. Our son loves this book. While most A to Z books are usually just ok, this one does it better. There is an actual story which adds a nice element to it.

What a pleasure it is to read this book with my son!
I first checked it out at the library for him. It is the ONLY book that I have purchased for him after checking out at the library. The illustrations are amazing - the whole thing reminds me of a Normal Rockwell painting. Just gorgeous. A book both parent and child will enjoy.

This is a great book/story for my Firefighter obsessed boy but there were 10 pages missing from the book and as it was a gift and ordered early (and wrapped) we did not discover this until well after the 30 day return window. So now we have to pay for the return on a book that was defective. Very unhappy.

Fire Fighters A-Z is a great book that demonstrates the daily life of a fire fighter. It shows all the preparation that is required on a daily basis. My students loved the pictures and the story.
