Sparkles the Fire Safety Dog book selected as Reviewer's Choice Review by Midwest Book Review / Children's Bookwatch

The Midwest Book Review / Children's Bookwatch selected Sparkles the Fire Safety Dog for its Reviewer's Choice Review this month. Its reviews are highly respected and are specifically designed for community and academic librarians, booksellers, and the general reading public. The review is quoted below.

"Written by firefighter Dayna Hilton, Sparkles the Fire Safety Dog is a wonderful, flat-spined children's picturebook about the basics of fire safety - as taught with assistance from Sparkles, a friendly female dalmatian. Illustrated with full-color photographs of the real Sparkles and erfriends on virtually every page, Sparkles the Fire Safety Dog tells young readers what to do if they hear the noise from a smoke alarm: "In case of fire, be sure to crawl low under the smoke on your hands and knees. The air is cleaner and cooler there. Get low and go to your outside meeting place." A great way for parents to introduce their children to doing fire drills, especially sure to appeal to young dog lovers."
