Richard Scarry's A Day at the Fire Station (Pictureback(R))
Richard Scarry
Random House Books for Young Readers, 2003
If you're a Scarry fan you'll like it
I think this is a Richard Scarry Jr book rather than the dad, but it's still classic Scarry, charming and enjoyable. It's no Cars and Trucks or Busy Busy World, nor is it designed to educate your child about firefighters or fire stations, but it's a quick, cute and ...

I have been perusing children's books for historical events and people. This is a nice introduction to the Mayflower and the history of Thanksgiving. It gives enough detail that very young children will actually learn some history, yet it is short and to the point to ...
