Same review as "Bears" by Melvin and Gilda Berger. I ordered all these little science books from scholastic, so it is hard to know what you are going Same review as "Bears" by Melvin and Gilda Berger. I ordered all these little science books from scholastic, so it is hard to know what you are going to get. I was expecting so much more out of these books. The semantics can make the book confusing and it is so simple, I'm not sure how anyone can really learn from them. I guess they are supposed to be easy to read, but who wants to read such boring books? At least they all have good pictures....more

Honestly, when I first read this book I didn't like it at all. It seemed stupid. Now I enjoy the sing song style of the book. It is fun to read.Honestly, when I first read this book I didn't like it at all. It seemed stupid. Now I enjoy the sing song style of the book. It is fun to read....more

I love the words and the information in the book, but some of the pictures are so poorly done. It feels like the pictures were done without any consideration of what the words were going to be. Not only that, but the layout of the pictures looks very amature. One page talks about two girls trying on the uniform and there are two separate pictures of the same girl trying on the uniform. The other girl in the uniform is just an extra picture on the inside cover page. The picture showing the girls crawling on the floor to avoid smoke looks like a picture of two girls sticking their butts in the air. Also, on most of the pages the girls are just wearing sweats. They couldn't at least wear some nicer clothes? I also didn't like that there are more pictures of the middle sister when it is the oldest sister who is "narrating" the story. Shouldn't there be more pictures of her? Okay, I'm totally being too picky, it is a nice book about fire fighters, but come on, people, if you are going to go to all the trouble of making a book, do a better job. Put a little more effort into it for goodness sake....more
