Now talk about a taste of imagination. Every little kid dreams of either being something or when their older becoming something they really enjoy doing. This little boy named Matt loves fire trucks and loves to hear or see anything about them. One day he magically sprouts into a fire truck, saving things such as the neighborhood cat and a teddy bear. I think this book demonstrates courage and bravery because he goes around saving everything he can because of his obsession with fire trucks. This

This board book has a lot going for it. The illustrations are bright primary colors with thick black lines that offers high-contrast images for an infant's developing eyes. It introduces number counting and uses common objects to do so. The images could easily lend itself to ask older babies directions and prepositions. (The pancakes are ON the table. The fire truck is UNDER the table.) Babies love to see themselves and Matt is a pretty unique baby because - spoiler alert everyone- he becomes

L: 4 stars. me: 2 stars.
we are a house of firetruck lovers but this book and its (strangely drawn) boy-halfway-morphing-into-truck illustrations are just plain odd to me.
L thinks any books that mentions both firetrucks and pancakes deserves 4 stars though... so we are a mixed review : )

Well as a grandmotherly person, I thought this book a bit strange buy my dgs loved loved loved reading it and saying the words that were coming and counting the firetruck's equipment. It's a very short fast book but it was a sad day in this house today when I had to return it to the library!

If a kid is really into fire trucks, they will like this book a lot. Also, if they have a good imagination, this would be a good book for them.

Cute story about a boy who LOVES fire trucks. My favorite part was when he helps rescue the teddy bear from the "burning" building.

Simple. Perfect if you are two years old and have a passion for fire trucks.

Jack Kirby and the X-man
rated it:
A simple story designed for the single-minded young child. If everything revolves around fire trucks - then this is the story for you. If you are indifferent about fire trucks then maybe look elsewhere.
X-man is up to planes, buses and trucks - but has yet to really categorise within trucks. I'm sure it will come. He may also be confused because our fire trucks are all fluro yellow, rather than the traditional red (also ladder trucks are pretty rare in the suburbs...)

According to my son, this is one of the great masterpieces of Western Literature and he is currently writing his dissertation on it.
If your kid likes Fire Trucks and is in the 1-4 years old range, this is a must-have! It is very short, incredibly simple and does encourage early counting.

Nicholas' favorite book of the moment...in which a boy who loves fire trucks actually turns into a fire truck. As soon as we open the first page, N. points to the little boy and shouts "Me! Me!"

This book was one of Legomeister's favorites when he was three and four. It's fun to read and very imaginative.
