    Short, but decent

    My son has enjoyed this book: 1) he loves fire trucks and 2) he is attracked to the activities in which the firemen are involved. I wish this book had more in way of a narrative. But, if your toddler likes flashing lights, bells, etc he or she may enjoy this on the Nook color.

    Perfect book for young firefighting fans

    This sturdy little book, with simple text and nice illustrations by Tibor Gergely, is great for young kids who love firefighters. It's been one of my son's favorites since he was two.

    My son really likes this book but the only thing I would change

    My son really likes this book but the only thing I would change is that I wish more things were interactive on the page. He spends a lot of time touching everything trying to see if it will make a noise. Otherwise I like everything else and he loves it.

    For the preschooler who loves all things fireman!

    My three year old grandson really enjoys this story. He really likes being able to touch my Nook and make things happen on the page: sirens sound, firemen climb ladders.

    Cute update to a classic

    The sound effects are fun, but the book looses its appeal after reading it a few times.

    Fire trucks!

    My 2yr old loves the sounds and pictures but it is not much verity same thing on every page. He does not make it through the whole book before he is tired of it.

    My son loves this book!

    My 3 yr old son loves this book. It is short enough to keep his attention and has a nice little storyline. The pictures are a bit small, but my son just look closely and noticed different things every time we read it together

    We love this book.

    I remember this book from when I was a child-has the same lovely illustrations. I bought it for my 4 yr old son who is obsessed with firemen. He loves it. He loves to look at the pictures and discuss what the firemen are doing and talk about the tools they use to put out fires. The colors are bright and engaging-and I love how after the fire is out, the firemen are dirty and look tired. Great book!

    Great fire truck book

    Received this book as a gift and my son still loves it a few years later. It is a classic fire truck story with heros and all. Lots of great sounds like "clang, clang, clang goes the fire bell", water sounds, chopping sounds, etc that make it fun. Recommend the board version over the regular paper version as it is much sturdier. Love to give this as a gift to 1-2 year old boys.
