Sparky the Fire Dog

Sparky the Fire Dog by Hoffman, Don. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781936140626.

Meet Sparky. This adorable Dalmatian puppy is an important member of the team at the fire station. But hes more than just a cute character in a book: Sparky is the official spokesdog for the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and what he has to say can actually save lives. This canine hero rescued a little girl and her family, and now hes helping kids become junior fire inspectors right in their own homes. In colorful, appealing illustrations, Sparky takes a group of young animals through the neighborhood, pointing out hazards, giving basic fire prevention and safety tips, and showing them how to be prepared in case of an emergency. From having a working smoke alarm to being careful with candles and knowing where your exits are, Sparkys advice may be the most important thing children--and their parents--ever learn.
