This is an adorable book that teaches about firemen. It is great to use when teaching about community helpers and also great for students who speak Spanish. Many of the words in the book are in Spanish so children must use context clues to discover the meaning of the words.

I really enjoyed this book. I myself enjoy learning another language and this book makes it fun. I liked how the story wasn't all in spanish just a few words so it was easier to read, understand, and enjoy. Fun to try to guess what the spanish word meant also. I really liked how the spanish words were bolded and in the back there's a glossary. Not only does it tell you what the word means but it has pronunciation help also.

Summary:This book is cool the way it incorporates English and Spanish in one. The text is mainly English but then includes a few Spanish words and a glossary at the end. Sirens start at the station and the firefighters must leave quickly to get to the fire, they get their coats on and speed through the streets. Once they are to the house, they get their hoses out and start spraying the building as people stand around and watch them fight the fire. The flames are all gone and then they have to climb up the ladder to get to a cat in the house! Then everyone was happy because the fire is gone, and the cat is saved. Possible Topics:1. Intro to Spanish and other languages. 2. Job of a firefighter. 3. Even when things go wrong, be grateful for what you get.
