Firefighters' Busy Day! is a wonderful way to introduce little people to the abilities and skills needed in firefighting as a career. The active and engaging language used by the author encourages the incorporation of movement in a lesson. -Donna Gerdes, MAEd Firefighters are busy! They have many tasks to do each day including "washing, waxing, shining the truck, cleaning the gear, getting rid of the muck." In Firefighters' Busy Day!, children can see the jobs firefighters do before, during, and after a fire call. Through the use of movement written into the text, they can even help firefighters get their jobs done. Young children can pretend to be busy firefighters, too, by trying some of the exciting fire safety activities included such as a fire truck parade or a firefighter-themed meal. These activities are sure to turn everyday learning into firefighter fun. Grab your gear, jump on the truck, and ride along with firefighters helping in the community!
