The “Read-it!” series of early readers intends to present lively stories with attractive illustrations. This title is labeled as being on the Yellow (or second-most complex) Level, but is actually quite simple. The fire chief parks his big red truck in the school lot where he proceeds to tell the pre-school/kindergarten students about the rig and about his job. Suddenly smoke billows from the school kitchen and Mr. Dill has a chance to show his stuff. All ends well when the burned cheese sandwiches give way to fish sticks for lunch. Young children will find this a familiar (except for the fire) school experience, heightened by a lavish use of bright red and the animated expressions on the faces. For the new edition, the publisher lists two American educators as consultants. These unassuming little books can provide a pleasant reading experience for kids and perhaps help some early readers on to independence. 2005 (orig. 2002), Picture Window, $18.60. Ages 3 to 7. Reviewer: Barbara L. Talcroft (Children's Literature).
