What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and safe. It touches on 'emergencies' via fire engines and rescue trucks, but the tone is focused on the solution and the machinery rather than the danger.
Ideal Reader
A two or three-year-old who is obsessed with 'things that go.' It is perfect for the child who enjoys identifying objects in their environment and wants to know the specific names for parts like the 'scoop' or the 'ladder.'
