Fireman Fred is taking a nap when the alarm sounds. He jumps out of bed, and he and his fellow firefighters rush to the source. Once the fire is out and the woman's cat is rescued from the tree, Fred discovers a dog without a home. He takes the dog with him, and together they nap, curled up together.
Bright and colorful -- if choppy -- illustrations complement the very simple text. The short words and sentences, as well as the popular subject matter, make this one good for emerging readers. While it's difficult to believe that a firefighter would simply claim a dog as his own because the watching crowd did not recognize it, children are likely to overlook that detail.
