ABOUT THIS BOOK

This jacketed picture book shows that size is no measure of bravery, even in the face of a raging fire! Mac, a small mouse, is devastated when his tiny home is destroyed by fire. Luckily, he finds a new home at the local firehouse. While there, Mac soon forms a fire brigade with the other mice-despite the fact that the house cat, Suspenders, is always lurking around the corner. Will the brigade have a chance to save the day?

- Originally published in 1987, Firemouse features exquisite watercolor illustrations throughout, and a full-color jacket.
- A wonderful story about the bravery of firefighters.
- The perfect gift for the child who dreams of being a firefighter.
