Fire Engines

Book came in great condition and my son loves this story

This an absolutely adorable fire engine book for a child! WONDERFUL illustrations and very basic very simple wording. My special needs teen age son, although he can understand bigger chapter books, he LOVES fire trucks and things of that nature. He smiled and giggled all through this story. This would be a good 'beginning reader' story for a beginning reader too... simple words and pages so it would help encourage their self esteem by being able to read this on their own

He loves it. He is at the age where he obsesses about fire engines, so this was a good addition to his growing collection.

When my son was 12 months old, we had a small bookshelf of books we bought from a yard sale. He would constantly pick out THIS ONE no matter where in the shelf we placed it. We would read it to him on request sometimes seven times a day, we sometimes even hid the book!! He has loved this book ever since we began reading to him. I have this book memorized and sometimes I recite it when we dont have the book and he is fussy. The book is easy to read, basic one sentences on each page with big colorful, well-illustrated pictures that are great for pointing out various things, even shows a "red" or "yellow" fire engine! Tells about hoses, pumps, and the differences between ladder trucks vs. pumper trucks as well as fire engines from boats. Very informative, yet short. This book is great to read to any age from birth to at least 3. We love it so much, we bought a second "just in case". It has sparked my 2 yr old son's love for Fire Engines to date!!!

The bright illustrations are perfect for young children and the amount of words on the page is appropriate as well. The sentences are not complex, yet they introduce useful vocabulary that is easy to connect to the pictures. Children learn different types of big working trucks, such as backhoe, snow plow, combine, plow, etc. My 3 year old grandson has me read it over and over. It is obvious that we will soon own the complete series!

I bought my 3-year-old nephew Anne Rockwell's AT THE FIREHOUSE, and he LOVES it, so I thought I'd get this, which appeared to be a companion book. Sadly, though the characters appear the same (all dalmatians) there's no story line to keep a kid's interest, just sort of statements (e.g., "Ladder trucks have long ladders."). I'm very disappointed.

This is one of my son's favorite boooks. He constantly brings it to us to read. The words are simple, yet full of information. And, my daughter loves pointing out things in the illustrations. One they will want to read over and over again.

Very nice book and helpful for the kids. Colorful pictures and variety of vocabulary to teach your kids or students. Highly recommended!

消防車好きの息子のお気に入りの一冊です。薄くて軽いので持ち運びやすいです。
