In a smoothly rhyming text, this exciting alphabet book details what happens from the time the alarm sounds at the fire station to the final "zip into bed for a rest" once the blaze has been extinguished. Permeated with intense primary colors, the images in the action-oriented artwork build on one another to convey the physical nature of this dramatic but serious job.
