What a fun title to read for Fire Prevention Safety Week! This is a firetruck with personality, that's for certain. Lots of descriptions too. Interactive text and pages will keep readers entertained and sure to come back for more. Lots of things I wouldn't even know! but it will be sure fun to learn. This is an energetic story that explains a lot. With colorful words and excited fonts that share about a very brave truck.I'm Brave! is the first collaboration I've experienced from Kate and Jim McMullan, but it was delightful and I'd love to get my hands on their others.I received this product free for the purpose of reviewing it.

My 2.5 year old son loves this book! He's memorized most of it and will recite pages while pretending to be a "fire guy." It's adorable! The slang bothered me the first time I read it, but it's a fun book and he's learning a lot of new words with the list of fire fighting equipment, so I don't care about the slang.
I purchased this book for my daughter and she loves it. It teaches her so much about her grandfather's calling. The McMullan's have done a fantastic job and the mention of my father, NY Firefighter Jim Wind, makes it all the more special. Thank you.
This is the first one-star review I've ever written. I don't normally like to slam books as personal preference plays a huge role in book reviews. However, I'm compelled to write this review to URGE well-meaning parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends: do NOT buy this book. Thankfully, I only borrowed a copy from the library so I can toss this one back into the return slot ASAP. The pages are painfully disjointed. The illustrations (which aren't even attractive) do a poor job of tying back into the words on the page. WAY too many unnecessary sound effects. Trust me, parents will cringe when their kids pick this book up after their first read. AVOID.
My grandson loved the "I Stink!" book so much I knew he'd like "I'm Brave" just as much. I was right. It gives me great pleasure to encourage his love of books.
I am so glad I only borrowed it from the library! This book is full of slang jargon and contractions. It did have nice illustrations, but the writing itself was atrocious.
Cute, fast paced book. My son learned a lot about fire trucks and accessories. It has really cute graphics and I like this one better than "I'm Dirty"
This whole series of books has become a "most favorite" of our three year old grandson's who has just begun to read some sight words.
