Review

Fly Guy and Buzz take a trip to the firehouse and visit with firefighters. While there, they learn lots of information about fire trucks, firefighter gear, and important fire safety tips. This book is part of a FLY GUY non-fiction series that includes books on Sharks, Space, and Dinosaurs.

A level two reader, this paperback book is geared toward the developing reader with longer sentences and new vocabulary. More difficult words have phonetic pronunciation listed after the word appears in text.

Actual firehouse photography is used throughout with integrated colorful illustrations of Fly Guy and Buzz. The photos are labeled with text and call outs to educate young readers on various firehouse equipment and activities.

This story should be of interest to any young reader who is already a fan of Fly Guy and will also not disappoint those interested in firefighters.

Overall Book Score: good
