Great book!įirefighter Frank by Monica Wellington was a huge score at the library. Perhaps my favorite thing about this book are the details in the illustrations by Viviana Garofoli, the soot on the faces of the rescued and firefighters, the unique angles used in the illustrations and the fun colors. I liked that there was a mix of male and female firefighters, that the text incorporates information about equipment as well as tasks the firefighters complete on a call. After only reading it twice my son was rhyming along with the simple but well crafted text. There are much much better books surrounding this theme to choose from ( the two below are fantastic).įirefighters: Speeding! Spraying! Saving! by Patricia Hubbell is a wonderful rhyming book all about the work firefighters do. If your child is into this character or theme I would get this from the library, but I wouldn’t waste your money on it unless you can’t get your child to read anything else. I am just not personally a fan of this franchise. I would rather him enjoy an ok book than no book at all. He loves anything about firetrucks or firefighters, saw it at the library and grabbed it. This book is no exception, but I have still read it 400 times. They are formulaic, lacking in originality and in general poor quality. Generally speaking character books never are. I couldn’t stop him!Ĭlifford The Firehouse Dog by Norman Birdwell is not my favorite book. Let dry and play… or if you are my son play with it before it’s dry.If they are able to write have them do this after painting. While they paint ask them what number station they want it to be and make a sign with the white and black paper.If your child wants to they can draw windows, signs, etc with permanent marker first before painting it. We colored with crayons first just because we wanted to but decorate it how you see fit.
We used butcher paper ( find it at Walmart under the title “craft paper” for cheap), There is probably an easier way of doing this but I wrapped it then re cut the door holes. You can use hot glue as well but double stick tape is easier with eager helping hands. You will need some milk cartons, plain paper, double sided tape, red paint, some black and white paper, glue and scissors. So during the bruhaha of becoming a big brother I have stockpiled some super fun ideas that I knew he’d be into and we could have some mama son time like before so there is some continuity in his life. Obsession is perhaps not a strong enough word. I won’t be shocked if I get a restraining order from the fire department in town for stalking, I am always driving by slowly to let my son see which trucks at at the station. It’s no secret how much my son loves firetrucks and doing firetruck crafts.
