Review: Emergency!


Emergency!
Written by Margaret Mayo
Illustrated by Alex Ayliffe

Publication date: 2002
Publisher: Carolrhoda Books
ISBN: 0-87614-922-0

Summary/Back cover:
Fire! Fire - emergency!
Fire engines race all the way.
Hoses rushing, water gushing,
Help is coming.  It's on the way!
Fire engines, police cars, ambulances, lifeboats, and tow trucks race to the rescue in this noisy, busy book bursting with action.  Emergency? Don't worry - help is on the way!

Review:
This is a real boys' book - my 2.5 year old loves it, what with all the rescue vehicles in it!  The fact that we get to yell 'Emergency!' on each page helps a lot, too!  As with other Mayo/Ayliffe books (such as Dig Dig Digging and Snap), the text is rhyming, and the illustrations are lovely and bright.  This one is my son's favourite Mayo book so far!
