Reviews

[Ally McCulloch · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is good for the curious child, especially if he or she is interested in emergency vehicles.

It reminded me of the time I was in Italy and a tree was stuck in the road. I was read to jump out of the car and was going to help move it (what, were we just going to sit there in the car after a tree blocked a road after a storm)! But I think another solution was found and the road was cleared.

The illustrations are this book's saving grace. The text seems very controlled at times and doesn't flow. Not bad for early readers.
