Firefighter


Rau, Dana Meachen. Firefighter. Marshall Cavendish Benchmark, 2008. ISBN: 9780761426172.



Firefighter is an inviting factual look at the materials used by a firefighter. Each of the rebus words used is a photo of the main word, in the short 4-5 word sentences. The entire book is completed in 9 pages of text. The pictures are a realistic view in the day and life of a firefighter and what predictable adventure awaits the firefighter for each day. The vibrantly colored photographs masterfully depict the adventure of the day and life of a firefighter. Firefighter is kid-friendly, easy and inviting book for all children and brilliantly brings the firefighter to life. This book is excellent for young non-readers, and relates how words and pictures have meaning.
