Hi,I got a version of the "sing and read" Firetruck book from an marketplace dealer, since you can't get it used now as its out of print. It said "sing and read" and I paid $14 total (with shipping) so I assumed it would include the CD. BEWARE- my version just came and did NOT include the CD!!! Scholastic books is selling the book alone for $1 right now (new), so I just overpaid by alot. My kid went crazy when he saw the book, so I can't return it. Now I guess I'll have to go online and purchase the mp3 of the CD for ANother $10 (sheesh!) Just be careful when you order from the marketplace to confirm if the CD is coming or not with the book:(
This is a good story about dreams of becoming a firefighter. However, this new version is severely lacking. The best parts of the original were the song which accompanied the book and the illustrations within the book. In this new version, the song is absent and the illustrations have been changed from cute, cartoons showing lots of action to blurry watercolor pictures of a very generic nature. My kids loved the pictures from the old edition, but are disinterested in the new one. The book still deserves 3 stars because the story itself is good, but the poor illustrations and absences of the classic song leave a lot to be desired. I'd recommend that anyone looking to buy this book buy a used copy of the old edition. It's much better.
I bought this book becuase my son LOVES the song. The book is not the same one that we had seen before, I did not realize there was more than one illustrator for this story. The previous one had an adorable child as the fire fighter, this one has an adult and I think that makes it loose its charm. I will have to look for the other book.
We waited quite a while for this very expensive book to arrive. It is a smallish, paper book, with one page of music on the last page (which only contains the chorus) Still, this is a beloved story and song in our house- so is worth it to us. The illustrations are bright and cute. You really have to like this one to buy it. Our son is a fireman and our 3 yo grandson is obsessed with all things fireman related. You can watch the author sing this to children on You Tube. A classic for some kids and families....."I want to ride in my fire truck."
my 2 year old boy read this book at his preschool. He has been obsessed with this book so I decided to order it. This is the second day and I hope this book lasts in our book shelf because the inside pages are very thin for my 2 year old. Great book, we LOVE the illustrations!
Perhaps I live under a rock, but I didn't know this book was also a song until I started reading it and questioned why the words repeated. Look up the song online for your kiddo, too! (Or if you're really talented, it's at the end of the book.)
We came across the video on YouTube. My son fell in love with it and fire trucks after seeing it. When I found out it was a book I was so happy. I was disappointed when I found out the book was no longer in print. When I saw that it was being sold used on my spirits were lifted but then dropped when I saw the prices it was being sold for. I was lucky and got it for an amazing deal. My son and I read it frequently.
I was very happy to find this particular item as we use it in the preschool spec ed class I work in and it is always a favorite with the kids! It arrived quickly and in good condition. I was able to purchase Ivan Ulz' original song to Fire Truck and am thrilled to coordinate them to use with the kiddos! The merchandise was in great condition and I am happy with my experience
