A completely average Pete the Cat book. Which is to say, it is OK, but never shows any of the personality that its character design suggests. There are many many better books about fire fighters out there for children.

Typical Pete the Cat artwork. I liked the beginning where Pete's class took a field trip to the fire station and got to crawl around the truck and try out the equipment and learn all about it. I was disappointed, however, in the end when the fire station gets a call and they take Pete along with them and let him help fight the fire. Obviously, this would never happen and I feel like it gives kids the wrong impression. Firefighting takes more than an afternoon of training and I felt like the
