From aeroplanes to fire engines, the internationally bestselling Amazing Machines series is the perfect way for preschoolers to learn about all sorts of different machines and things that go! Every book introduces a new vehicle and features a zippy rhyming text, bright, colourful artwork, and the same friendly animal characters each time. There's even a helpful picture glossary at the end to recap any new words and technical terms. Flashing Fire Engines follows the animal crew as they become fire fighters. Climb on board the fire truck, ride along and learn how to put out fires and save the day! Every page is full of the kind of detail that machine-mad toddlers love: the fireman's pole, the siren, the long ladder and much more! Other titles in the Amazing Machines series include: Terrific Trains, Amazing Aeroplanes and Tremendous Tractors.
