(1) PS Firefighter-wannabes ride along as Engine No. 9 races across town to put out a fire. The simple emphatic text includes many forceful sound words ("WHOOSH"; "WEOOO! WEOOO!"); text placement, color, and size are integral parts of the dynamic illustrations. A concluding celebratory spread balances the story's near-crisis, only revealed once it's safely over. A helpful list of safety tips will reassure anxious listeners.
