Synopsis

At the station, sirens sound.
Corazones start to pound.
"House fire!" says el capitán.
"¡Fuego! Get your helmets on!"

So begins a rollicking race to save a burning casa from the roaring flames-and these bomberos are up to the task, with hoses ready and sirens blaring. Spanish words sprinkled throughout the lively text-plus a glossary at the end-will enrich young readers as they cheer for the firefighters to save the day.

About this title

Review

Perfect for bilingual classes stretching their English wings, this is also an accurate reflection of the way in which bilingual speakers move back and forth between languages, as well as a charming way to introduce Spanish to English speakers. (Kirkus starred review for Oh No, Gotta Go!)

Her rhyming bilingual text demonstrates a skilled storyteller who is clearly comfortable with both languages... This delightful tale turns an everyday chore into a lively adventure, brimming with entertainment and enjoyment for all. (Publishers Weekly starred review for Bebé Goes Shopping)

The text carefully, and delightfully, incorporates Spanish words into the rhyming text... Fantástico! (Booklist starred review for Bebé Goes Shopping)

Book Description
