  Great read for before a fire truck visit. Preschool or toddler, very brief text, but covers a lot of the things fire fighters do.

  Cute pictures, but I can’t get over the sexism in this series.

  Read this with my toddlers for Storytime. I think it would be better for one-on-one sharing.

  A little boy dreams of being a fire engine man. Simple text and bright illustrations. Fun read for young kids who love firefighters.

  My mom was pretty annoyed with the way this book is perpetuating stereotypes of fire fighters only being men. If it didn’t have that repressive choice of language it would be totally cute.

  I was a little surprised to see this children's picture book written in the future tense, that's not so common: "I will drive my own big fire engine. It will have a loud siren and flashing lights."

  It is a fine book. I read it for fire safety, and it worked really well for that. It is a super easy read. I don't think it is super exciting for a group story time.

  First off, I LOVED the illustrations in this book! I will be checking out the other Zimmerman & Clemesha on my next library visit for that reason.
  I picked this book up for my two year old who loves firetrucks. I did like that it had simple sentences that fit a toddler's attention span, but the sentences didn't flow well together. It was hard to get a rhythm going while reading, and that was the main reason I didn't particularly enjoy the story overall.

  This is another in the Digger Man series....which I have loved since my kids were tiny. Part of what I love about these books is the big brother/little brother dynamic. The illustrations are charming. There is good informational content too, at a very basic level. I nice story for little boys who are into firemen and their parents who are sick of reading about fire trucks.

  A great book for little ones learning to read.... A lot of sight words and new ones they need to sound out too. Matthew went through it pretty quickly; Daniel took a little longer but was still engaged. The illustrations capture little boys' imaginations about being a firefighter, and I love that the main character is so nice toward his little brother.

  This book was really cute. The words are small and beginning readers could read this book. The illustrations are wonderful. This book was about a little boy who wanted to be a firefighter The little boy described the life of a firefighter and how his brother could also be one when he got older. I enjoyed reading this book!

  This is a simple book about a little boy who would like to be a fire engine man and all the things he plans to do when he is one. There is also a nice theme running through the book about his little brother and how he would show his little brother all of the things he does. The illustrations are simple but sweet and my 2yo son loved to look at them.

  Very simple text and colorful pictures tell the story of a young boy who would like to be a "fire engine man" when he grows up. The side story of him being a big brother and his friendship with his little brother is also very touching.

  I'm so tired of reading this book to my son. Since I brought it home from the library we're averaging about 2 reads a day. Simple story with basic illustration, but my he loves it so it must connect on some level that I don't understand.

  Another story about the big brother from Digger Man. This time he imagines his life as a fire fighter. A useful preschool concept book for a community helpers unit.

  This book is OK. The illustrations are OK. The text is OK. The story is OK. Nothing really stands out about this book, either good or bad.
