Busy People: Firefighter

by Lucy Cuthew, Madeleine Brunelet (Illustrations)

Discover what a teacher, a doctor, a firefighter and a vet do and how they help the community. Each story focuses on a different character as they go about their daily work. But each day holds a new challenge for these busy people€¦ Next Steps are included at the back of the book to prompt further discussion and develop vocabulary as well as information about the characters who work alongside the protagonists, for example a nurse from the doctor's surgery and the commander at the fire station.

My daughter loved it! The book really is amazing for kids. Frank is a firefighter and you follow him around. It teaches small kids what is a firefighter and what they do. With the events happening in California ( we live in California) is amazing that we got to read this book, and my daughter understands a little better what a firefighter does.

Really recommend this book for kids. The story is very cute and the pictures amazing.

I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway. My 4 year old loved it! It was a very well written, descriptive book. The illustrations were great too! Very bright and vivid colors! I loved how it told about all of the equipment that firefighters use and also explained the people that work with firefighters to help in emergency situations. At the end of the book, it gives discussion questions, which are great to use in a classroom setting or with your own children at home.

Needed more female role models

Cute and simple text about what a firefighter does. Although it does seem a little silly that they rescue the library guinea pig with about six rescue workers...
