★ Booklist ★ Kirkus ★ Publishers Weekly ★ School Library Journal
Perfect for fans of firefighters and fire trucks, this energetic rhyming picture book shows how a fire chief and her crew keep their community safe.
. . . lights begin flashing,
and—clang!—the bells blast.
They leap into action—
they need to move fast!
If a puppy is in danger or a café is on fire, Fire Chief Fran is ready to help! Featuring a strong female role model, a huge fire truck, and an action-packed story, this read-aloud is a dynamic introduction to a day in the life of a firefighter. Follow along as Fire Chief Fran and her team respond not only to fires, but also to injuries, blocked roads, and more.
With an irresistible rhyming text, acclaimed author Linda Ashman celebrates the many ways that firefighters help their communities. The book concludes with an author’s note that is packed with further fascinating information about firefighters, their equipment, their fire trucks, their training, and more.
Told in rhyming prose, this story weaves through a typical day of a fire fighter where they rescue animals, do drills, educate children and tackle both forest and business fires. The illustrations are a beautiful colour palette and, as you can see, the pops of red and yellow are so striking! It has some great exploration of sound in the language too and would be great for pre-phonics environmental sound work. A fun and aspirational book for young children!
