My Review: Munchkin picked this book out for himself at the bookstore the other day, he wants to be a firefighter when he grows up. I love the fact that there are so many non-fiction early reader books out there, especially one like this. This one is on the more advanced level one, probably more a level two in my opinion, but younger fans of firemen will be eager to read it on their own. It does have simple sentences and does have a story line that follows a firefighter on a full shift. There are some more difficult words, but again if your young reader is a fan of firefighters they may be familiar with the words and will just need help identifying/ sounding them out. The images are all photographs too so they are true to life and will also keep your reader excited about the book.

My Rating: Munchkin really enjoyed this book and I like how it is a non-fiction book and on a subject that totally captured his interest. We give this one a rating of Four Paws!
