This is another book in the WHEN I GROW UP I WANT TO BE.... series.  I have previously reviewed the US Army and Teacher books.  Click HERE to see those reviews.

Again, I can't say enough good things about this educational and fun series of books.  All kids dream of being something when they grow up and this series of books hits on all those great occupations by sharing a story and fitting in educational aspects of that job.  The kids are learning while reading and don't even know it!

In this story, we are introduced to Will who is worried about going on his class field trip to the fire station. Will has always been afraid of fires and of firefighters.  He thinks about ways he can miss going on the field trip, but as the day arrives he decides to go.  When the Fire Captain announces that he is also afraid of fires, Will is suddenly excited to learn more about fire fighting.  The children are given a tour of the station, allowed to pet the firehouse dogs, introduced to a female firefighter in complete fire fighting gear, allowed to climb in a fire truck, and able to handle a hose spraying water.

Through the field trip the reader is informed about fire safety, the different jobs of a fire fighter that include more than just fighting fires, and how to make a safety plan in your own home.  We are also taught there are many different types of fire fighters and equipment including helicopters and airplanes.

Building on Will's real fear and the excitement of his other classmates, this book will appeal to children who are curious and afraid to admit their fears.  By the end of the story, your child will want to visit their own neighborhood fire station!
