Review by School Library Journal Review

PreS-Gr 2-Youngsters will enjoy accompanying Little Critter and his class on a trip to the firehouse. The endearing creature comes dressed in his fire boots and jacket and helps Fireman Joe test his hose. The class watches Fireman Joe check and climb the fire truck's ladder, and they listen to his safety tips. Emerging readers will appreciate the simple sentences, short words, and repetition, and they will love being pulled into Mayer's brightly colored illustrations in thoughtfully composed single pages and spreads. Put this on display with Lisa Desimini's Dot the Fire Dog (Scholastic, 2001), Wong Herbert Yee's Fireman Small (Houghton, 1994), and Monica Wellington's Firefighter Frank (Dutton, 2002) to celebrate Fire Safety Week.-Laura Scott, Farmington Community Library, MI (c) Copyright 2010.
