A Visit to the Fire Station by Rosalyn Clark –ADVISABLE

Clark, Rosalyn A Visit to the Fire Station 24 pgs. Bumba Books (Lerner), 2018.  $20.

This simple book explains to young readers what they will see if they visit a fire station such as suits and helmets, fire engines, ladders and hoses, and more. Readers find out why these items are important. Well chosen bright photographs on each page help to illustrate the text on that page.

I would add this to my library in a heartbeat because a fire station field trip is something many of our classes do each year and this would be a great way to prepare them. It could also work as a stand in for a field trip though I would add a video and a fictional book to the mix as well. I do think students would choose to read this book on their own as well as it being utilized by teachers.
