I thoroughly enjoyed it as much as I did the first two in the series. Kids will appreciate the honest way it deals with very real aspirations and fears. The firefighter and fire truck pictures alone make it worthwhile to own, and to give as a gift. I look forward to the next book in this series." -William H.
