Summary: Really Sweet
Review: This book is precious ~~ it contains rescue action and firetrucks but also kind tenderness. The illustrations are beautiful, soothing, and unique. The text is repetitive in a rhythmic but not annoying way. I am logging on to buy ever other book weitten by wong Herbet Yee right now!!

Review: This book was a favorite for my son when he was 3 years old. We read it so much he had the whole book memorized. A Drop of Rain is also a wonderful book.

Summary: A terrrific book for a one-year old!
Review: Too many rhyming children's books make no sense, but this one combines a simple start and finish plus an identifiable plot (story). I know this book is great because it holds the attention of our one-year old son better than any other book. I believe this is due to the simple rhymes and animation required by the adult to read the book outloud properly. The bottom line...our one-year old child loves this book!

Summary: My son loves reading again
Review: When my infant became a mobile toddler and developed the attention span of a gnat, I missed the cozy fun of reading him stories. But for Fireman Small he'll cuddle on my lap and listen to the fun, catchy rhymes...and usually ask to hear it again. The repetitive rhyme ("Closes the curtains, gets in bed, And pulls the covers over his head") makes it a wonderful wind-down book at the end of the day.

Summary: This is a great book!
Review: Wow, when I bought "Fireman Small" last year for my 5 year old, I knew it would be a hit with him (something about small boys and fire trucks...), and indeed it was. But I was completely unprepared for the ferocity with which his 19-month old sister loves this book as well. We read "Small" (her word for it) several times a day. The beautifully-rhymed text holds her attention and we have a great time chanting it all together. I think she is particularly pleased at the end when poor Fireman Small finally gets his well-deserved rest after a busy day of rescuing cats from trees, baby bunnies from wells, and putting out an actual fire. My 5 year old knows the words by heart, and we often sing a snatch or two of the refrain at odd times during the day (which, of course, prompts the little one to get the book and demand a complete reading). Warning -- this book will get into your skull too! I am looking for more books by Wong Herbert Yee, and I expect them to be just as charming and wonderful.
