Firefighters in the Dark

32 pp. | Houghton | October, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-618-55459-9 $16.00
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Nicoletta Ceccoli. A little girl drifting off to sleep conjures up a company of firefighters (King, Penelope, Almondine, and Bruce) that rescues a royal family after a fire-breathing dragon unintentionally sets a blaze; a woman who ate a too-hot pepper; and a boy floating in the sky. Unusual visual angles highlight the surrealistic art in bold colors, adding to the book's dreamlike feel.
