"It's Flash's first day on the job as a little fire engine--and it's going to be a busy one! But Flash is ready to jump into action and save the day. The only problem is, every time Flash tries to pitch in, he is either too little or too late to help out. What if no one needs him? When a fire erupts in the middle of town, it looks like Flash might be the only one available to help. Does he have what it takes to save the day?"--Amazon.

Growing up as a child, I can remember reading a picture book entitled “The Little Engine That Could.” It’s about a little blue engine who had ultimately agreed to undertake the task of helping another train which had filled with toys and gifts for little boys and girls that broke down before reaching the children. After asking several passing trains for help over the hill, this little blue train agrees to help the stranded toys. Even though she had been small, the blue train tried her best to bring the toys to the children on the other side of the hill; while all through attempt she kept on repeating that she thinks she can, and ultimately succeeds despite her small size.
So, when I saw this book online, I thought my inner-child would enjoy reading it, for the lesson it tries to teach, and this is my inner-child review.
Reading this book, I didn’t whether Flash, the little fire was a girl or a boy, but it didn’t matter because I loved reading the story, so I’m going to pretend Flash is a girl. Being on the job for her first day, Flash was happy and very eager to start putting out fires like the bigger fire engines must have enjoyed doing for a long time. When the first fire started on her first day on the job, at the airport on an airplane, Flash was happy and eager to help fight her first fire, another fire engine told Flash it was too big for her, which made her feel sad.
At the next fire, in the forest, Flash got there too late to help in fighting the fire, and she not only became sad again; she also felt upset and not needed. But, on her way back to the firehouse she got a call from the fire chief that she’s needed at the town’s square and she’s the only one who will be able to get there to put the fire out in time to help save the animal shelter and all the animals and people inside. Happy to feel needed she had been able to put the fire out and everyone inside.
When she finally got back to her firehouse, Flash got a surprise when she saw everyone under a big sign which said, “HOORAY FOR LITTLE FLASH – You Saved the Day.”
The lessons which I got reading this story is that things will happen when they are supposed to happen and that you can’t get what you want when you want them to happen. I also learned that your size doesn’t matter because you can do anything you want to do even if you are smaller than anyone else. Which is why as an inner-child I’m giving this book and the beautiful colorful drawings it has a BIG 5 STARS. ( )
