Illustrated by
Julian Hector.
An urban firefighting crew quells an apartment fire. After briefly introducing one firefighter, the text moves into action. Heroic rescues ensue, each neatly encapsulated. The sturdy, simply modeled figures express a range of emotion; our hero looks especially solid, four-square, and compassionate. With its swift action, catchy verse, and appropriate palette (flame-red, white, blue), this should find good use.
