Nothing beats a fire truck for toddler thrills. This rugged novelty book from Tonka features five firefighting vehicles: fire engine, ladder truck, rescue truck, fire chief's truck, even a fireboat. But that's not all. With wheels affixed to the board book's base, it's a moving truck itself! Illustrations of fairly "anatomically" correct vehicles are accompanied by brief, informative text (best read aloud by a grownup, who can explain the bigger words) about the functions of each vehicle. Persistently cheerful firefighters--men, women, brown-skinned, white-skinned--beam as they haul hacksaws and torches ("and axes too!") into presumably burning buildings (the illustrations never actually show flames). For those young readers who live for the sound of sirens or a glimpse of that familiar red truck, this sturdy little book is sure to be a winner. (Ages 3 to 6) --Emilie Coulter
