{My thoughts} – Moby Shibobi is at it again. This time he is at the firehouse. He has a rough time finding something there he can help with given it isn’t his area of expertise. Eventually he finds something to help with that he is really good at.

The illustrations match the words on the pages nicely. They go hand and hand with one another and help to show the reader what the author is trying to tell them. The bright illustrations help to keep the story appealing to children. It also helps to show children that even though they may not find something they are good at right away, eventually something will be discovered.

I recommend this book for early readers. It has simple phrases that early readers can breeze on through. I think that Moby Shinobi has the potential to become a beloved child’s character within the book world. This book will make a great addition to any child or teacher’s library.

The ninja uses his toolkit to help out at the firehouse, but things go awry as he sprays everyone else with the firehose, falls to the ground when using the fire ladder, and has other mishaps. Finally, the fire chief helps him find something he can do. Fun and full of great rhymes for kids.

It was ok.

A little boy ninja wants to help out at the fire station, but his enthusiasm often exceeds his ability to be helpful.

Illustrations are cartoony.

All of the Moby books are big hits in my house with my kids. Luke's sing-song lyrics match up perfectly with the jam-packed illustrations. You immediately fall in love with Moby and want him to succeed. Younger readers will enjoy the detailed artwork as well as the writing... easy, but not TOO easy, with each rhyme dovetailing into the next. Highly recommended for those kids who just aren't that excited to read yet!

Ninja seems to be like any ordinary child. It is hard for adults to see that a child can help with certain tasks. I'm glad that this book shows perseverance and that we are not meant to do some things. Each and every person has a place that will be most useful.
