Do you want a book that you can Dissect the inside of many emergency vehicles? Well, this is the perfect book.

I used this for my classroom for 2-4 year olds, however it was a bit confusing to them. For example on the "air Ambulance"... they disagreed and said it was a "helicopter".
This vehicle IS a helicopter just by looks but it isn't called that.

I recommend this book for ages 5+ because of this reason.

It covers all of these vehicles/Titles:
High-tech Police Car, The pumper fire truck, the flying fire fighter, submarine rescue, the giant fireboat, the air ambulance, rescue at sea, and Medics on wheels.… (meer)

Leave it to Rod Green to come up with the coolest children's books. We already have a few Christmas books written by him that are forever favorites. This one is for Halloween and it's titled Octavius Grimwood's Graveyard Guide. It's shaped like a coffin! So cool.

The book starts with an introduction of Octavius Grimwood, an investigator of the supernatural, spooky, and weird. Octavius Grimwood is the guide as he takes readers on an exploration retelling stories about ghosts, witches, skeletons, werewolves, vampires, mummies, and zombies. Each page contains true facts and some events as well. It even covers some fairly spooky legends and places like a few different haunted houses, Highgate Cemetery, and Borley Rectory in England to name a few.

"Borley Rectory was one of the most famous haunted houses in England. It was built near the ruins of Borley Hall, once home to the wealthy Waldegrave family. Its most famous ghost was a nun, and she was the figure I met there one chilly night in 1939. The specter told me she ran away to marry one of the Waldegrave sons. However, her fiance killed her in a violent argument. The rectory burned down shortly after my visit, and the bones of a young woman were discovered."

The book finishes with an explanation of Halloween and how it all got started. It may not seem like it, but it's actually quite educational. I even learned a few things myself about safety coffins and the story of "Stingy Jack." Overall, it's fun and we love the format. The illustrations are both creepy and interesting. We look forward to pulling it off the Halloween shelf every year!… (meer)
