Iβm Brave! | written by Kate McMullan, illustrated by Jim McMullan (2014)
Summary
He's a big red engine with a siren, a horn, a tank full of water, and whole lotta hose! He's a good-lookin' fire truck, and he's brave, too. When the alarm sounds, he's gotta drive through smoke and heat straight to a blazing fire!

Why I Love It
Thereβs no shortage of books about βThings that Goβ in kidlit, but few match the energy and specificity of Iβm Brave! Obviously Brave has a hose and tank full of water, but have you seen the spanner wrenches, rabbit-tool door forcers, or duck-billed lock breakers (to name a few)? This should satisfy the readers who are craving more, with plenty of fun-to-read onomatopoeia, too.
