Teague, Mark. Firehouse! (A StoryPlay book) Cartwheel Books, 2017. $5.99. ISBN 9781338181593. Unpaged. Ages 3-5. P7 Q8
Filled with colorful illustrations, Firehouse follows Edward on an adventure at the firehouse. As he visits with Judy, he washes the fire truck, there is a fire alarm drill and he gets to ride down the fire pole. At the end of the story, there is a real fire alarm and Edward gets to help out. Children who like fire trucks will love this action filled, bright colorful illustrations. The book is enhanced by a tiny mouse in a fire fighters outfit asking questions, such as, “Is the hat too big or too small for Edward? How can you tell?” For adults who like prompts on how to interact with children while they are reading, this is an excellent book. There are four creative activities at the end of the book. This book is in the StoryPlay series. Originally published May 1st 2010 by Orchard Books.
Verdict: This interactive book is a good addition to any young children’s library. Children will enjoy the adventures and learn more about firefighting at the same time.
