“…a true love letter to firefighters…” Kirkus Reviews

 

“Bustling scenes will keep readers searching for stories within the story. The main narrative, conveyed in blocky black text, can be followed easily, while the use of speech bubbles in the art adds to the fun. Early on, an elaborately labeled illustration of turnout gear is followed by diagrams of pumper and ladder engines and brush-breaker trucks, making this a true love letter to firefighters and their tools…Classic in style, rich in information, and sweet in story.” —Kirkus Reviews

“What a terrific book! Full of life, humor and real information. The perfect combination. I had a smile on my face from the very beginning.”
—Caldecott Medalist David Macaulay, author of The Way Things Work, Cathedral, Pyramid, Castle, and Mosque.

“This is a book that definitely rewards repeated readings.” – Eric Fan, co-creator of the award-winning Barnabus Project, Ocean Meets the Sky and Lizzy and the Cloud.
