Hamsters Don't Fight Fires!

40 pp. | HarperCollins/Harper | September, 2017 | Trade ISBN 978-0-06-245294-8 $17.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jessica Olien. Diminutive Hugo the hamster is a talented cook, dancer, runner, and more--but he's always wanted to be a firefighter. Even though he's small, Hugo's can-do spirit eventually allows him to serve as fire truck navigator, safety instructor, and ladder climber. Bold digital illustrations with thick black outlines are visually suited for storytime, and the themes of self-esteem and perseverance will resonate with similarly little readers.
