Firefighter Flo!

Ages 0 to 3, Grades P And Under

Big Jobs, Bold Women series is now in board book, perfect for toddlers for who love bright, noisy fire trucks.

Last night at the Fire Station…

With a jingly-jang, the telephone rang.

RING-RING! RING-RING!

Firefighter Flo jumps out of bed! There’s a fire and only a pro like Flo and her team can help. Firefighters put on their fireproof suits, rush off in their truck, douse the fire with the big hose, and rescue the family pet. The CLANG of the siren and WHOOSH of the fire will have parents and kids reading aloud together.

This first board book in the Big Jobs, Bold Women series introduces toddlers to strong women in tough hands-on jobs. Firefighter Flo! makes this empowering message accessible in a new durable format that is the perfect size for a energetic toddler.

With dynamic artwork from Dan Yaccarino, Nickelodeon character designer for The Backyardians, and energetic verse from Andrea Zimmerman, best-selling author of Trashy Town, Firefighter Flo is the perfect read for kids who love to watch the big red fire trucks rush by.
