Review: Great Book for Firefighter Loving Children - My grandson loves this book. Love that it shows really people not cartoon characters. It also shows male and female firefighters and stresses the importance of teamwork! It frequently requests it at night! Review: Great for toddlers! - My 2yo's favorite book at the moment. Lots of real photos that encourage conversation. Not a ton of words either and easy to get through after a long day. I am going to get a few more books from this series.

Great Preschool Book
Purchased this book for each child in my preschool class. The book is very cute and easy to read. Definitely recommend for your little one who is interested in firefighting.

Wow, now I Really Do want to be a Firefighter!!!!
I bought this book for my four-year-old grandson for Christmas. Ironically, the day I submitted my order for it, I was at his house in the evening, and he greeted me with, "Grandma, I want to be a Firefighter." I knew then I had made a good choice and actually he dearly loves the book. So much, in fact, that he kept it in bed with him each night after having it read to him. He loves the story of the different firefighter experiences and the pictures are so realistic to him. Great book even if the child doesn't want to be a firefighter, one can learn a lot of what they do.

Pretty good
The best thing about this firefighting book is that it uses photos intead of illustrations. It also had a female firefighter in it, which piqued my daughter's intrest, not only my son for whom I bought the book. It doesn't go into great detail about anything, but it does point out several responsibilities firefighters have. The kids liked it and so did my firefighter husband.

Great book for young readers
Pictures and writing are spot on. Not too much for young readers. Holds their interest and educates.

6yr old cowhand loves it
Our 6yr old grandson loves it. Living on property grazing cows, he took special note of the cowboy tending to the calf. At every reading, weโre reminded that the book is of โreal picturesโ, rather than drawings. A short read also makes it a hit with parents/grands ushering the kids off to bed.
