Summary/Back cover:
Emergency! A train is stuck in the tunnel . . . Fizz the fire engine wants to be a brave hero, but can he overcome his shyness to save the day? Full of noises, action and fun, this colourful first picture book is prefect for vehicle-crazy little ones.
Review:
This book immediately appealed to my two sons because of the content - a fire engine, complete with written sound effects! It appealed to me before I'd even picked it up, due to being another Wojtowycz book - he's become a firm favourite in our household with adults and children alike.
The illustrations, it goes without saying, are just beautiful - vibrant colours, gorgeous animation of vehicles that will appeal to any child. The storyline has a little 'moral' running through it, about how sometimes you need to overcome your shyness for the good of others. My almost-3 year old hasn't picked up on this theme yet, as he's too busy waiting for the "Nee-nar, nee-nar, flash, flash flash!" lines in the book!
My rating: 4.5 out of 5 - definitely one to read your vehicle-mad preschool sons!
