This is an interesting children's book, mainly because it deals with a pretty sensitive topic: an emergency at an elementary school during school hours. It shows a class going through a real-life fire drill. The little boy in the book is clearly disturbed about the situation, and you see him talking about his feelings with his mother. But the book is also relatively short, and the pictures actually tell at least half of the story. So it makes for a pretty good tool for discussion between an adult and a child. And the story also rhymes, which lightens the reading experience and makes it fun.

Enjoyed readying this and I thought the illustrations were awesome as well. I passed this book along to my friend who teaches kindergarten and she is sharing it with her class as a learning tool to compliment classroom emergency drills!

Is a great book for the children. So if you have a child that is just learning to read, or you read to them, would recommend. It shows children how to deal with an emergency.
