Spark the Firefighter

32 pp. | Dutton | September, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-0-525-47887-4 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Amanda Haley. Timid dragon Spark joins the fire department to face his fear of flames. An act of heroism helps Spark banish that fear forever. Along the way he delivers some fire-safety tips, and budding firefighters will appreciate the technical information (though the one-note joke about a dragon afraid of fire cools as the book progresses). Bright, cartoonlike illustrations effectively mirror the cheerful text.
