(3) PS A boy's convincingly realistic first-person firefighting narrative is later revealed as his pretend play. Throughout the story, facts are geared to the young audience: "The ladder can be raised to 100 feet. That's about three houses high." The rescue of a pet in the burning building is appropriately kept light--no helpless kittens, just a giant, smiling snake. The bright, bold artwork is eye-catching and effective. Safety tips are included.
