Review: Flashing Fire Engines


Flashing Fire Engines
Written by Tony Mitton
Illustrated by Ant Parker

Publication Date:1998
Publisher: Kingfisher
ISBN: 978-0-7534-5307-0

Summary/back cover:
“Big, bold fire engines,
waiting day and night,
ready for a rescue
or a blazing fire to fight.”

Jump on the fire engine with a trio of brave animal firefighters in this exciting picture book. Zippy wordplay, zappy art, plus a helpful picture dictionary make learning about fire engines fun!

Review:
From the Amazing Machines series comes Flashing Fire Engines. My pre-schoolers are crazy about fire-trucks and absolutely LOVE this book. They soon learnt all about the helmets and masks the firefighters wear from the dictionary in the back and love to point them out as we’re reading. I even learnt a few things, myself, like how the firefighters get water out of a fire hydrant, and why they even need fire hydrants when there is water stored on the truck.

This is a great wee book that’ll be a hit with any kid who is interested in fire-trucks.

My rating: 4.5 out of 5
