Firefighter Frank (Action Packs)

By Monica Wellington

Book Overview

Firefighter Frank has one of the most important jobs in the community. Now young children can thrill to the sight of the shiny fire engines all ready to go. They can follow along as Frank keeps his gear in tip-top shape, gives safety tips to visiting children, and cooks supper for the crew. And when the alarm bell clangs, Frank and his team race to the scene to fight the fire and keep everyone safe. Like Apple Farmer Annie, this picture book, painted with Monica Wellington's trademark color flair, simply and delightfully treats a topic that's already a field-trip fixture. Firefighter Frank also promotes teamwork and safety while celebrating a profession for which admiration is at an all-time high. As appealing as a hook-and-ladder zooming down the street, this book will leap off the shelves faster than booksellers can say, "Where's the fire?"

Favorite characters: Firefighter Frank This book tells about a day in the life of a fireman. Firefighter Frank is the chief firefighter and tells the other firefighters what to do. The firemen travel to a school teaching kids about fire and how to escape from a fire safely. When they are ready to eat, they receive a call and travel to the fire. You will have to read the book to see what the ending is. This is a great book because you learn about what firefighters think about what they do on an average day. Young kids who dream to be firefighters when they grow up will love this book, and even firefighters who want to teach kids about what firefighters do. Since the terrorist attacks on 9/11, many children admire firefighters and wish to become one when they grow up, this is a great book to teach them about the career.
