I bought this book for my son last year and it is among his favorites. What I liked about this book is that it's informative for children and adults. The language is clear and concise and items such as size are explained using comparisons children can understand. I highly recommend this book for all young fire engine fans.

When my daughter was young, she was fascinated by the vehicles with sirens. In particular she loved seeing the big red fire trucks go by us with lights flashing and sirens wailing. As a consequence of that excitement, I checked this book out and read it to her, over and over again. Although she did not understand many of the principles of measure, such as the height of 20 stacked giraffes, she did love the pictures and the sound effects I provided. I strongly recommend this as reading material for young children.

My 3 yr old son cannot get enough of this book. He wants it read over and over again. The other day he asked me," Does this firetruck not have outriggers?" And I did a double take. They really take it all in. Great book!
