Summary: Lots of big colorful pictures, perfect for little one just learning about the loud and exciting fire engines that drive by with the flashing lights! I know I loved fire engines as a little boy- wish I had had this book to dive into! Lots of short phrases and capitalized words that highlight excitement and are good for young readers to focus on.

Personal commentary / reflection: This would be a great book for a little reader who gets excited about fire trucks and maybe wants to be a firefighter when they grow up! Easy single word pages to focus on, with great colorful pictures. Perfect book for a little preschool class! ( )

Pair with "Hurry, hurry, drive the fire truck"

Minimal words (Brrrriiing! Brrriiing! Weooo!Weooo! Honk!), bright colors, and a sense of speed and urgency make this one a good choice for story time with very young listeners. In a nod to current trends, the burned out Luigi's Restaurant returns in the end as Luigi's on Wheels - a food truck! ( )
