Nozzlehead's Big Adventure is book 1 of a 3 book series written by a Professional Firefighter who shares his emergency calls with kids through the firefighter characters, Nozzlehead, Halfcap and Scout. Together this team of firefighters put out fires, make rescues and assist community members as they take you on an adventure and show you what it's like to be a firefighter in the city of Warmville. The characters are fun, kind, child friendly and loveable. Each story is packed with action and adventure as you ride along with them in a big Fire Engine or the Aid Car on their way to help others. The illustrations are colorful and full of detail and on occasion, there just might be a hidden object for you to find and rescue along the way.

I appreciate this series exists to explain firefighting safety equipment so that it doesn't frighten children in case of a real emergency. The different books explain the function of safety clothing and tools as well as emphasize teamwork and cooperation.
