Editorial Reviews

After a long night's work, Fireman Small "closes the curtains, gets in bed / And pulls the covers over his head." But a series of disasters keeps him from getting his sleep. First, Farmer Pig's cat becomes caught in a magnolia tree; then, Little Bunny falls down a well; and finally, there's a fire at the bakery. Each time something happens, Fireman Small saves the day. This short, simple story will delight children with its action, rhyme, and sprightly illustrations. Yee's colorful watercolors depict the animal inhabitants of the cozy town as warm, friendly, and concerned for one another's welfare, and an illustration of the inside of the firehouse is beautifully rendered to show all the little details on the fire truck. The charming, colorful little book will be a good means of introducing the fire fighting profession: it shows firefighters doing other things besides putting out blazes. That may be a big surprise for some children.
