Horn Book Review

A toy fire engine accomplishes his dream of putting out real fires. This reissue may have nostalgic appeal for adults, but both story and art are entirely predictable. With so many fire engine stories available, this one doesn't stand out in any way. (c) Copyright 2015. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
