Description

“Toddlers will enjoy learning about helpful heroes. Very engaging.” - Whitman Public Library

Fires are really dangerous. Luckily there are firefighters! They jump into their special suits and within minutes they are at the fire. But they also help people in other ways….

An instructive picture book for children about the brave men who fight fires. For ages 4 and up.

What do you want to be when you grow up?
Liesbet Slegers’s successful book series helps young children search for the answer to that important question. Do you like food and cooking? You might want to be a chef. If you are afraid of heights, becoming a pilot probably isn’t the right career choice. Or maybe you like school so much that you decide to become a teacher? There are so many wonderful careers to choose from!
With clear language and cheerful drawings, this series presents many of the most popular professions. Each book is packed with fun facts, new words, and interesting stories of real professionals.
Do you know why an astronaut wears such a funny suit? How about why it is so difficult to be a ballerina or a racecar driver? Or why it’s important to visit the dentist twice a year? Read these books to learn the answers to these questions!
So . . . what do you want to be when you grow up?

Great kids book. Easy to read and for the younger audience to understand what it takes to be a firefighter. Colorful pictures drawn throughout and might spark an interest in a future firefighter. I loved reading this book to my little nephews who seemed to genuinely like it also.

I have read a few books in this series and they have all been really enjoyable. This one is just as good and I loved the images. The book is easy to read and follow and I can see it being a favourite. Four stars from me for this one.

Firefighters and What They Do is a valuable book which explains the role of a firefighter not only in putting out fires, but also in helping others in need. The story and colorful illustrations are informative and appropriate for a young toddler.

Fires are really dangerous! Firefighters put out fires and wear special gear that keeps them safe from the flames. They use walkie-talkies and use sirens to let other everyone know they are on the way. Liesbet Slegers' look at firefighters shows firefighters sliding down the stationhouse pole, using hoses to put out a fire, and even moving a fallen tree out of the way so a grateful driver can continue on the road. An activity at the end of the book lets you show your little ones how to trace a simple maze to connect each part of a fire hose with a different jobs the firefighters have done through the course of the book.
