Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS Another companion volume to Rockwell's fine basic transportation series, Fire Engines has all of the merits of the previous books: crisp, bright illustrations in a spectrum of primary colors; a direct, simple text that is personalized by the use of the first person to heighten the appeal to very young children; and solid information conveyed in a picture book format. The earlier volumes are "peopled" with animals (for example, Boats has bears and Trucks is filled with cats). The lively world of Fire Engines is fittingly and amusingly inhabited by dalmatians. The book invites comparison with Gail Gibbon's Fire! Fire! (Crowell, 1984), which is similarly bright and appealing, but which is written for a slightly older audience and therefore conveys more information on fire fighting in different locales, and on points of fire safety. Certainly there is room for both in libraries. Rockwell's book will appeal to the many who, like the young dalmatian in the book, want to be fire fighters when they grow up.

Product Description

Told from a child's point of view, this book offers a look at all manner of fire engines, driven by dalmatians and accurately portrayed in pictures as bright and fun as toys. Full color.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fire Engines, June 16, 2000
By Christine Rabold (Lawrenceburg, IN USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is one of my son's favorite boooks. He constantly brings it to us to read. The words are simple, yet full of information. And, my daughter loves pointing out things in the illustrations. One they will want to read over and over again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Concise and Colorful, January 12, 2007
The bright illustrations are perfect for young children and the amount of words on the page is appropriate as well. The sentences are not complex, yet they introduce useful vocabulary that is easy to connect to the pictures. Children learn different types of big working trucks, such as backhoe, snow plow, combine, plow, etc. My 3 year old grandson has me read it over and over. It is obvious that we will soon own the complete series!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best find in a yard sale ever!!, July 3, 2005
By D Reidy "D Reidy" (Fort Lauderdale, FL USA) - See all my reviews
When my son was 12 months old, we had a small bookshelf of books we bought from a yard sale. He would constantly pick out THIS ONE no matter where in the shelf we placed it. We would read it to him on request sometimes seven times a day, we sometimes even hid the book!! He has loved this book ever since we began reading to him. I have this book memorized and sometimes I recite it when we dont have the book and he is fussy. The book is easy to read, basic one sentences on each page with big colorful, well-illustrated pictures that are great for pointing out various things, even shows a "red" or "yellow" fire engine! Tells about hoses, pumps, and the differences between ladder trucks vs. pumper trucks as well as fire engines from boats. Very informative, yet short. This book is great to read to any age from birth to at least 3. We love it so much, we bought a second "just in case". It has sparked my 2 yr old son's love for Fire Engines to date!!!
