Pickles is a young cat with big paws and big plans. But all he can find to do is chase other cats, until he is adopted by the local firehouse.

Knowing that this is his chance to do big things, Pickles works hard to be a good fire cat. He learns to jump on a fire truck. He learns to help put out a fire, and he even helps out in a rescue!

I loved this book as a kid! Maybe it was the bright red cover. I really don't remember the story but I sure liked the pictures. So glad I still own it. ( )

Pickles lives in a barrel and chases other cats off his territory, but when he has to be rescued from a tree by the firefighters, he goes to live with them to "do big things." He becomes the station fire cat and helps rescue another cat from a tree. ( )

This is a very good book. It allows the child to use their imagination and real life situations. I would recommend anybody to read this book to their child. ( )
