[Amy Adams · Rating 4 out of 5]

I have a soft spot for rebus stories. I just love them! Rau's Firefighter is super short, with tiny little sentences and close, clear pictures. The book is smaller than what I'd normally use for storytime, but I think the call-and response nature of the sentences, the images, and the pictures in places of words will be really fun.

A solid rebus, which my preschooler loves. (The entire series is good if you're looking for a rebus, in fact.) Nothing especially exciting about it, but it's fun for a kid who loves firefighters and wants to "read" by herself.
