Reviews

Kirkus Reviews

“Children will practically hear the sirens wail as a succession of emergencies brings out appropriate rescue vehicles. . . this sends a message at once exciting and reassuring.”
Kirkus Reviews

Publishers Weekly

“A potent combination of timely subject matter and a bright, upbeat presentation of vehicular heroes in action.”
Publishers Weekly

School Library Journal

“An engaging subject and bold, colorful illustrations guarantee this picture book an enthusiastic audience. When at last all of the emergency calls are over and ‘the rescue vehicles are all tucked away,’ odds are good they’ll be called out again by eager listeners who will want to revist the scenes and appreciate how quickly help arrives.”
