(1) K-3 The retired John J. Harvey fireboat (launched in 1931) might have spent her golden years tooting down the river, "but then on September 11, 2001, something so huge and horrible happened that the whole world shook." And the John J. Harvey found herself of service again. Kalman's use of events is honest and honorable in this inventively illustrated picture book.
