BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) - OPTIONAL
APPEALS TO: SEVERAL
The animals of the Evergreen Forest are calmly going about their day when an abandoned camp fire flares up and sets the forest on fire. Only Flamekrarken, the fire engine and Heletor can save the day.
Sellick’s story is a little out there in terms of reality - deer and koalas living in the same habitat for one - but the danger is palpable and the animals are cute. Plus books about rescue vehicles are always popular.
