Firefighters: Speeding! Spraying! Saving!
Firefighters rush into their fireproof suits. They pull on their helmets, gloves, and boots. Then off they roar in their trucks--zooming away to save the day Patricia Hubbell keeps the fun coming with another volume with a "things that go" theme. Viviana Garofoli's simple illustrations using digital art add to the rhyming text that is ideal for preschoolers

“Clang Clang Clang! Firefighters rush! Scurry! Down the pole. Slide! Hurry!” With those opening lines, preschoolers are launched into the fast-paced and often dangerous world of firefighters dashing to the rescue. Hubbell uses short, declarative phrases, rhyming text and lots of sound effects to convey the actions and urgency of firefighters as they perform their jobs. Straight-forward illustrations in primary colors complement the red of the fire engines and nicely depict the various types of e...more
This book gets 5 stars for being the only firefighter book I've ever seen where they don't rescue a cat (or other stranded animal)!
True they still have a dog but that's plausible in rural areas.
This book nicely depicts what Firefighters really do. Deal with cars that don't move to the right, rescue people by breaking windows, clean their own gear, and finally sit around and hangout till the alarm goes off again. Well done! I would own this one!

I like this one because it includes a female fire fighter, the text has a good rhythm to it, and the book doesn't shy away from the actual job of firefighters. It includes a tall building on fire and people being rescued from inside. Gavin really dug this book. Respect.
This is the book for the boy in love with trucks and firemen. Simple and says what it needs to. This would be a great read aloud for a community helpers unit. Ages 2+
What would we do without Patricia Hubbell when the time of year for preschools to do "community helpers" comes around?
Explains what firefighters do in a more realistic way, without being scary.

This is a fun firefighter story to use as a read aloud.
Great illustrations and story, Spencer loved this book.
Got a little kid who stops each time the firetruck speeds by, mouth open in awe? This is the book you need. Very cheerful- even the ash-covered rescued people seem into the whole fun fire thing. A sure-fire hit (ah, c'mon, I couldn't resist).
This book features a female firefighter, which I'm always looking out for since we have a retired female firefighter/storytime mom!
Good for storytime. Action, deft rhymes. Nice, bright colors in the illustrations, which are nothing to write home about, but are clear and simple. Includes a female firefighter.
This is a pretty descriptive book about the day in the life of a firefighter. The rhyming is not forced. I would use this for preschool storytime.
lots of sound words. bright pictures. talks about their equipment, job, shows them saving lives.
