FIREMOUSE, Nina Barbaresi, 2004
Mack was just an ordinary mouse living in Brooklyn’s Best Auto Body Shop until his home burned to the ground. Where will he live now?
Mack happens upon the perfect new home at the local firehouse.
He soon organizes a group of mice into their own fire squad—the Brooklyn Blazers.
Mack and the team stay busy practicing their fire-safety skills. But when Suspenders, the jealous firehouse cat, arrives on the scene, trouble can’t be far behind.
Will eight brave mice learn to work together and make a difference during their first daring fire rescue?
This delightful tribute to New York’s Bravest is sure to captivate young readers!
Editors note: without exception, this is FSP's favorite FDNY children's book. The drawings of equipment are extremely accurate, to the point of having an authentic FDNY registration number "AP 8201".
This 2004 reprint of the book is dedicated by author Nina Barbaresi to the FDNY members involved in the original book, who perished on September 11, 2001.
