MY REVIEW

Once in a while it's quite fun to read a childrens book. I like to see what's out there now for young Children. It was always Richard Scarry and Enid Blyton when I was young. I have to say I still have all of my Childrens books too. My parents were great readers and taught me to read before I went to school. Every night my Dad would read to me before bed and that is where my addiction started. That and a weekly trip to the library. So having said all that I thought I would give this fun looking children's book a read.

Bill and his friends had been playing games, pretending to be Firemen. When talking to his parents at dinner about the adventures they had been having, his Mum and Dad listened with interest. When he'd gone to bed his Mum had an idea and asked why they didn't call the fire department to see if Billy could go along and see what real firefighters do. Billy's Father made a phone call to a friend he knew and soon it was sorted.

Billy was thrilled and so began his day with a trip to the Fire Department where he would be looked after by Charlie the Chimp, and the excitement began.

The illustrations in the book are great and really help to tell the story. As the story is told through the day, to the adult eye you can see there is a moral to the story. It's about being afraid but still having courage.

It's a very well told story and just one in part of a series about Billy The Goat and his adventures, which all look fun!

You can download a free activity pack too when you've read the book.
