This book is a great picture book to discuss the importance of loud noisy emergency vehicles to smaller children. As a parent with children who are unsettled by loud noises, this is a great way to explain why we shouldn’t be threatened by the loud emergency vehicles and why we move aside for them in traffic.

I enjoyed sharing it with my young children and will buy a copy for my school library also! ... ARC Reviewer/ 01/27/2025 Read on goodreads.

Booksirens Review

A pleasant children's book explaining what to do if you hear a siren, letting children know the good job our emergency workers do. The book has big colourful illustrations that encourage further discussion between parents and children. Font size for story content could be larger. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
