Review #15321 - Dated: 22nd of December, 2015 Author: Jopukeko |
My eyes lit up when I saw Lego City had a new book called Firefighter Rescue available to review. I have a house full of Lego fans ranging in age from 4-7. One of them loves anything to do with firefighters so this was the perfect book for him. He enjoyed the book so much he has hidden it from the other children so he can read it secretly by himself. I had to track down another copy of the book in order to write this review.
Because of the age of my children I read the story to them. Miss 7 is a reluctant reader so I would read the bulk of the text and she would read the speech bubbles. She enjoyed doing this and it kept her engaged in the story. For the younger ones it was all about the pictures. They are all in the form of Lego. I can imagine they are photos of Lego although they aren't really. In true Lego style the Ricky the rookie firefighter races off to the fire engine wearing pyjama pants but holding his firefighter legs. We all thought this was funny.
There are also some important messages in this book about not rushing into things, working as a team, accident prevention and training for a job. Although the children didn't notice any of these I chose a different theme for us to discuss each time I read it. it is great to see a book that does more than just entertain. At only $9 this book is a great value and could be a stocking stuffer or addition to a Lego gift.
