Story about the brave firefighters on 9/11 who help during new york in their time of need. ( ) In the late 1840s, everyone throughout New York City knew the bravery of a fireman named Mose Humphreys. Over the years, the legend grew . . . and grew . . . and in this delightful recounting of that legend, young children have the opportunity to meet the brave fireman. Bold paintings of New York in the 1840s capture Mose and bring the story to life for young readers. A treat for young and old alike. Highly recommended. This is a good example of folklore because it depicts a larger-than-life hero, Mose Humphrey, who is said to be "eight feet tall" and "his arms were so strong he could swim the Hudson River in two strokes." Obviously these statements and the narratives in the book are exaggerations and not possible like the baby in his hat, but the theme of the story emphasizes the bravery of firefighters. This children's picture book is a great example of historical fiction. Right from the beginning of the book the author takes an effort to inform the reader of the devastating occurrence on September 11th, 2001. The story doesn't directly relate to the terrorist attraction, however the book does describe the hardships that firefighters may experiences. This book allows the reader to understand the pressure and courage a firefighter must acquire in order to do his or her job. I think it is important for educators to incorporate this book in the classroom to help the students discover America's history, and it's heroes. This book personally hit home for me because my brother in a firefighter. It put me in his shoes and I new understand a little of what he goes through everyday. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
