(3) K-3 Illustrated by Marie Lafrance. Back when "fires were fought with buckets, axes, and hand-pulled carts," a fire department plugs in its first electric light, a four-watt bulb. This amazing bulb continues to glow throughout all the changes and modernizations to the fire department and town over the next one-hundred-plus years. The folk-art-style illustrations help provide historical context for this true story.
