This is a very cute story of a fireman (the only firefighter this side of the bay!) who deals with a series of escalating problems alone: Rescuing a kitty from a tree, a child from a well, and finally putting out a fire!

The use of rhythm is terrific, and the illustrations are great.

I will note that

it's unrealistic. Real firefighters work in teams utilizing the buddy system, and a child who is *really* obsessed with firefighters will know that.

This is great book to teach children about firemen and what they do for us. Fireman Small is the only fireman in their city and he works hard day and night to protect all the people and animals.

This is a good book for children because it shows children how to be helpful to others. It is also a rhyming book as well. After fireman small helping everyone in town they all come to visit him at the station and say thank you.
