Summary: Wonderful!
Comment: This book handles the events of 9/11 in a wonderful way. The pictures are very tasteful. After seeing all the horrific images on the tv, the children will not be frighten by these pictures. This is a very well written book. Parents should always read a book before reading it to their child. Although I can't imagine why this book would be offensive.

Summary: MISLEADING
Comment: This book needs a warning on the cover of the book because of the graphic violence it depicts. It is misleading from the cover and title that it is only about this fireboat. It entails much more. Adults need to read this prior to reading it to children, then decide if they want to share it with their kids. If they do, they need to have some pre-discussion with the children about the topic of 9/11. Too many pages and too much graphic violence was shown for a book for the younger age group. It could have been handled in a much softer approach. As a parent and an educator I was shocked by this book. The pictures and wording were wonderful, other than that section. It needs to be revisited before another printing is made.

Summary: The Best Book Ever!!
Comment: Fireboat is a really good book about recycling. The John J. Harvey was the best fireboat out of 12 other fireboats in New York City. The John J. Harvey fought fires up and down the river. It put out the fire that was huge on another boat, the Normandie. After awhile they did not need 12 fireboats, so the John J. Harvey was sitting in the river for five years, then a group of people saw it and wanted it so they bought it. They had perfessional people fix it up, then they did not use it to put out fires. It was thiers to keep for partys or go out on a ride. Then the fire department needed a fireboat.They needed a lot of fireboats at that time, so they had to use the John J. Harvey to help control this fire. Can you guess what fire it was? Remember it's in New York City. It was the fire that was spread because of the crash of the Twin Towers. Fireboat is a really good book. I can't tell you the whole story, it's so good you better read this book if you like boats or you are interested in what happened in New York City with the Twin Towers!
