“Hey, yo! Firefighter Flo!” This picture book, by Andrea Zimmerman, starts with an exuberant call to Firefighter Flo, and the jaunty pace keeps going till the last page. The story is a classic – the fire station gets a call, there’s a building on fire and a dog in danger. The fire rescue team saves the day. There are many books with similar plots; as a parent of a boy who was once obsessed with fire trucks, I’ve read a lot of books about fire fighters, fire engines, fire dogs… This one easily ranks in the top! The rhyming text flows smoothly, and on almost every page there are great sounds: Rings, Stomps, Clangs, and Screeches; Bangs, Whooshes, Smashes, and Crashes! Pictures by Dan Yaccarino complete the fun. This book would be a pure delight to read aloud to any child.
