It’s a Fire Station Celebration!

By Davina Bell

From the best-selling creators of All of the Factors of Why I Love Tractors comes this gloriously funny picture book about a curious child’s special interest in his local fire station.

Every Friday, the Fire Chief opens the door, 
and lets kids go inside for a play and explore.
You can try on a hat, you can climb in the seat 
of an actual fire truck – isn’t that neat?

Fergus never misses his weekly visit to the place he loves most – the fire station! Though he has seen it a squillion times, he always has more questions to ask about the most fascinating place in the world, much to the exasperation of the adults around him. But it turns out no question is ever too silly to be asked – especially if it could save lives!

Discover all the possible what-ifs with an inquisitive child's visit to the fire station in this delightfully rhyming and beautifully illustrated story by award-winning author Davina Bell and illustrator Jenny Løvlie.
