"Firefighter has long been a popular choice for young boys (and girls) thinking about their future careers, and the events of 9/11, where firefighters became even bigger heroes, made certain that firefighting will remain one of the most respected professions. "I Wanna Be a Firefighter" is a marvelous story narrated by a youngster who lists his reasons for wanting to be a firefighter. But the story is much more than that - it gives young readers the information they need to remind their parents about potentially lifesaving actions such as making a family escape plan and replacing batteries in smoke detectors. There are also a lot of interesting little factoids about firefighting."
