“Firehouse!” Children’s Book Giveaway

By /

I love reading books with my boys and was excited to have the opportunity to review a wonderful children’s book called Firehouse!  My boys really liked the book, Firehouse!, was written by Mark Teague.  I liked the storyline, as well as the illustrations.  I am familiar with Mark Teague in the work he’s done with Jane Yolen and look forward to seeing what he comes out with next.  Firehouse! was released on May 1st, 2010 and retails for $16.99

Book Overview:

Join Edward and his cousin Judy as they spend a hilarious day learning how to be firefighters. From a fire drill that leads to a slippery slide down a fire pole, to a hysterical battle with an out-of-control fire hose, Edward is in for an action-packed adventure. And when faced with a real emergency, can Edward save the day?

    The first thing that comes to my mind when I hear “firehouse” is Uncle Rob. He is our local fire chief and has been a firefighter for as long as I can remember.

    Oddly, the first thing that comes to my mind is exercise classes. (I belong to a gym named Fire-House Fitness. The lady who owns it has a son and a son-in-law who are both firefighters.) I’d love to get this for her granddaughter, whose daddy is one of the aforementioned firefighters.

    When I hear “Fiehouse”, I think of my grandfather and uncles, who were all firemen. They spent quite a bit of time at the firehouse. Thanks for the review and giveaway!
