Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2018
I definitely recommend this book! It’s very toddler-friendly. It has short, rhyming phrases “This is the station, this is the bell, and this is the signal that all is not well…”, the illustrations are cartoony and sweet, and it has a clear story line about them rescuing people and a cat from a big apartment building on fire (I enjoyed noticing how tastefully all the apartments are decorated. It appears to be a community of art collectors?). The way the firefighter chopped the door apart in the burning building is probably not how it would happen, and there are a lot of people walking upright and smiling in the smoky rooms, (not an air pack to be found), but it also has some nice little details, like using the term “command” for the person in charge of the fire. Overall, a very cute story

Simple pattern makes it easy for toddler to memorize. Sentences rhyme. Cardboard sturdy book. Great for small hands. Bright colorful pictures.

Goes through simple story of a fire company saving people burning building and a kitty in the end.

This is a beautiful book to display or leave out in a child's room. It comes with a jacket but the actual hard cover has the same design so you don't have to keep the jacket on. There are not alot of words on each page but a nice rhyme on each, and the pictures are big and vivid, my 2 year old really likes to talk about what he sees on each page. Even the inside of the front and back covers have a cute design for small children to look at and count firetrucks - they have paid nice attention to detail. It says ages 4-8 above but I think it's perfect for 0-4, as long as you can keep them from tearing the pages (it's not a board book).

My daughter has been fascinated by firefighters and fire trucks for a while now. She received a firefighter pretend play outfit as a gift so I purchased this book to compliment it. This book is beautifully written and illustrated! I’ve lost count of how many times she’s requested we read it.

This book has great pictures and a rhyming text that shows how the firefighters work—their clothes, the alarm, truck, and rescuing people and pets from a fire.

We got this book from the library for our firetruck obsessed kiddo. I loved it so much that I had to buy it for our library. I'm a sucker for anything that rhymes! Great addition to our library!

1.0 out of 5 stars Some kids might find it worrying
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 10, 2020
We loved the other book in this series ‘This is the Construction Worker’ so bought this one as well. I don’t think this is suitable if you have a sensitive kid who might be upset by the idea of people being trapped in a burning building
