   My daughter is 4 1/2 and is beginning to read. The DK books are wonderful and she loves them. The pictures are very good (all DK books are excellently illustrated) and the short stories hold her interest. This series is great in that the reading levels are clearly marked on the book cover, so she knows what to look for when at the library or bookstore.
   I also appreciate DK because of their quality binding. Unlike so many other children books, DK uses heavy glossy paper-stock.

   I’m a fan of DK books, August 31, 2008

   They’re simple. They’re informative. They’re cheap. If your child is too young to read, they’re perfectly good read-aloud books.

   What more can you ask for when stocking your kid’s library?

   As you might expect, this book takes us through a day in a firefighter’s life. The sentences are short and direct. This makes them easy to read, and it also makes the book more exciting.

   The fire in the book (you knew there had to be one) is not especially scary, and is dealt with quickly. More detail is given to the more usual routine – cleaning, taking a class on a tour to talk about fire safety, that sort of thing.

   I very much recommend this book for small children.

   Good for younger kids, too, February 18, 2007

   Although these books are intended for young readers, my two-year-old daughter enjoys having them read to her. The language is easy and direct, the connection between words and pictures is very clear, and the short length fits her attention span.

   We have about six books from this series, but “A Day in the Life of a Fire Fighter” is her favorite – and she now loves to point out the “Exit” sign and fire extinguisher in any building we visit.
