Über diesen Titel

Rezensionen

Grade 2-5 In answering his initial question, "What do fire fighters do?," Maass focuses only partially on the dramatic aspects of firefighting. He also addresses the various other activities of fire fighters: training and practicing drills; maintaining equipment; inspecting; teaching in schools; and marching in parades. Many full-color photographs, some of excellent artistic quality, illustrate this behind-the-scenes look at the life of a big-city fire fighter. The brief text is clearly written, although the vocabulary is difficult for the age level indicated by the format. While the book provides a comprehensiveness of sorts, it lacks, perhaps intentionally, the action-filled drama and immediacy of Wolf's Firehouse (Morrow, 1983), written for a similar audience. Although most young aspiring fire fighters might seek the excitement of danger, Maass' book, in its realistic look at the other activities of fire fighters, provides a reasonable balance.
