School Library Journal Review
I Want to Be a Firefighter

PreS-Gr 3--After Max and his twin sister pretend to respond to an emergency with their pet cat in the bedroom, they are excited to go to school for Fire Safety Day to learn the job of a real firefighter. When they arrive, there is a fire truck outside of the school, and firefighters show the students all the important duties of a fire engineer, investigator, marshal, captain, and more. This colorful book is a great introduction to learning about a crucial community helper. Text and accompanying watercolor pictures work well together to tell the story of a firefighter's responsibilities. The pictures also show diversity in characters, making the story relatable to all readers. A glossary of terms a helps reinforce the concepts from the story. VERDICT An ideal book to read aloud to preschool or kindergarten students. Kids in the first or second grades will also benefit by reading this book independently.--Kerra Mazzariello
