Miss Mingo, assisted by Fire Chief Grizzly, teaches her class the basics of fire safety. Each member of the animal-menagerie class reacts the way it would if frightened in the wild: Snake hisses, Panda barks, Elephant trumpets, Octopus squirts, and so on; small-font sidebar text provides more detail. Cheery watercolor and ink illustrations depict the students learning to follow the rules.
