"An adorable hamster, a fire engine, and fireworks: high preschooler appeal." ― Kirkus Reviews

It's another busy day at Stanley's Fire Station! Stanley keeps his fire engine in tip-top condition. It needs to be ready for anything. It has a tall ladder, a big water tank, and a long hose. Uh-oh. The fire station has a phone call: Charlie's barbecue is out of control. CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! Out of the way! Stanley's on the job!

Stanley's Fire Engine stars all of Stanley's rodent friends in a brightly colored celebration of everyone's favorite rescue vehicle. Not only is there an adorable fire truck, there's also a ladder, hose, and fire extinguisher. The story is playful and fun and filled with important examples of the way firefighters help their communities. A great book for fire safety units, community helper lessons, and more.

Perfect for fans of Maisy, William Bee's beloved Stanley series features adorable hardworking hamster Stanley and his community of rodent friends as they work different jobs and help each other along the way. The sturdy padded picture book format is ideal for readers at a transitional age between board books and picture books, and the books are trusted models of basic preschool concepts such as colors and shapes, kindness and teamwork, community helpers, jobs and careers, vehicles, and daily routines.
