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.

Genre:

  • Children's Books
  • Juvenile Fiction
  • Animals
  • Dogs

  • Praise for Fire Pups to the Rescue!
    "Children interested in the vital work that firefighters do will be fascinated by this easy-to-understand book that offers a reassuring perspective. Created with paper collage and paint and finished digitally, the illustrations provide insight into the work of four adorable, eager, helmeted Dalmatian puppies named Spot, Zippy, Wink, and Pip as they use their remarkable sensory skills to aid their human partners....Readers will especially appreciate the onomatopoeic sound effects incorporated into the text....An engaging tale that sheds light on the efforts of community helpers."
    Kirkus
  • “Desimini presents information simply for young listeners. The illustrations, in collage and paint and finished digitally, use strong, bold colors and depict adorable pups that are eager and attentive. An enjoyable story that successfully introduces firefighters and their firehouse to a young audience from an angle appealing to animal lovers.”
    Horn Book
  • "Desimini’s signature style—playful collage mixed with paint, photos, and hand-built textures—brings Spot, Zippy, Wink, and Pip vividly to life. With diverse human characters, and a comforting storyline, the book balances excitement with assurance."
    Topanga New Times
