Green, Rod Emergency
Vehicles Illustrated by Stephen
Biesty Templar Books, 2015 (Candlewick
Press). PICTURE BOOK Content: G.
This book takes a look at eight different emergency vehicles including:
police cars, fire engines, a firefighting airplane, rescue submarines,
fire boats, air ambulances, a lifeboat and an ambulance. Each page spread shows the vehicle with two
lift the flaps to show the inside of the vehicle. There are sidebars with more of the same kind
of vehicles. There are interesting facts
about what the vehicle can do and how it aids the rescue workers in their
jobs. The vocabulary seems a bit high
for young kids even though it has a board book feel to it. There is 10-15 explanations throughout the
page explaining different parts of the vehicle.
This book would probably get picked up by younger readers, because of
the way it looks and feels but they would be overwhelmed by all the information
since it’s aimed at an older reader. This moves it from advisable to optional.
EL (K-3)-OPTIONAL.
