Fire Pups to the Rescue! - by Lisa Desimini (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

This perfect read-aloud for preschoolers combines three favorite things that young children love--puppies, firefighters, and fire trucks.

When the fire alarm rings, everyone at the firehouse gets ready--especially the Fire Pups. With their keen sense of smell and sharp eyesight, these adorable Dalmatian heroes are prepared to protect a family and save the day!

The engaging, interactive text calls out the sights and sounds associated with a fire rescue, while the story introduces concepts related to firefighting and fire safety, and there is bonus information at the end about the history of the Fire Dog.
