A fun little critter easy reader about going to the firehouse on a school visit, which is something kids of all ages like doing so it is easily relateable for the child reading it. Also, little critter books are so fun for kids because it gives them a little bit of dream land having the people of the town as animals. The reading part is great for the age group too, it is not too complicated and wordy so it is easy for them to follow along and sound out the words.
this is a great story, sparky gets to go to the fire station. this would be a great book when talking to children about growing up. I think this book has a lot of interesting facts for children. the author really keeps it interesting for children to read.
A Critter book that follows Critter as he visits a local fire station. Critter learns a lot about the community and the work that firemen do.

Mercer Mayer was born December 30, 1943 in Little Rock Arkansas. While attending school at the Honolulu Museum of Art, Mayer decided to enter the field of children's book illustration. He created a portfolio of sketches and peddled them wherever he could. He moved to New York City in 1964, pursuing further instruction at the Art Students League of show more New York, where he met an artist named Marianna who became his first wife. He soon created a new portfolio and with these new sketches persuaded editors at Dial Press and Harper & Row to give him some illustration work. Mayer published his first book, A Boy, a Dog, and a Frog, at Dial Press in 1967. It was notable for being a completely wordless picture book one that tells its story entirely with pictures. Mayer was one of the first illustrators to be credited for using this format. Five more books in this series were to follow. Mayer joined Golden Publishing, creators of Little Golden Books, in 1976. Through them he has sold his "Little Critter" and "Little Monster" series, which are popular with beginning readers. His title Just Me and My Dad made The New York Times Best Seller List for 2012. In 2015, his title Little Critter: Just a Little Love, also made the list. His holiday book, Merry Christmas Mom and Dad, is also a bestseller. (Bowker Author Biography) show less
