Fire Truck

And speaking of books, might as well mention another favorite for the annals of posterity. This is Peter Sis' Fire Truck, which is one in a series of books about vehicles. In this tiny volume, a little boy named Matt likes fire trucks so much that one morning he wakes up as a fire truck himself. After cruising around his house, putting out fires and rescuing teddy bears, he follows a smell to the kitchen which leads him to a breakfast of pancakes. The second page of this books says that "the first thing he said in the morning was fire truck," and Sava loves it when I read that sentence and make a pause after "was" to allow him to say "fire truck!" He melts into a big wide grin whenever we do it, which in turn warms my heart.
