Wonderful Book

My husband is on the Fire Dept and we totally love this book. The pictures are great too. I can't wait to read it next year again to the children.

A charming holiday-themed, full color picture book

Firefighter's Night Before Christmas is a charming holiday-themed, full color picture book story, told in rhyming verse by Kimbra Cutlip (and enhanced with the artwork of James Rice), about a firefighting team who are called away to handle a blaze just moments before a familiar Christmas holiday visitor slips down their chimney and leaves some very special surprises. Firefighter's Night Before Christmas is recommended for any family, school or community library Christmas bookshelf as being a heartwarming and entertaining story celebrating the courage of brave people who serve the public, as well as the manifold joys of the Christmas season.

A Beautiful Book

I read this book and thought that it was absolutely wonderful! The illustrations are not as bright and shiny as I would like but the message shines through. I think that now is even more important to remember the wonderful work of our firefighters. I really think that this will become a holiday fav!Jennifer Parker
