I have mixed reviews about this book. On one had, the pictures are great and very detailed. They are actually photographs of fire-suits, fire trucks, firefighters and houses and they are very detailed, even labeling all of the parts and describing what they do For visual learners, the book does exceed expectations. What I didn't like about the book is the way it is written. It is not very engaging to read or for the children to hear., as it does not relate to the audience well. For example, much of the book is "This is a firefighter", "this is what his suit does" , :This is a firetruck" and then very bleakly goes into the truck's purpose. I read this book to my two year olds and tried to make it sound interesting, but they were just not into it. The main idea of the book is to inform about the operations of a firetruck and the firemen who drive and operate them. ( )
