Unwrapping the content
Dan, a Dalmatian fire dog, lives with the local firefighters and is expected to go with them to fight fires when the alarm bell rings. Dan decides he doesn't want to be part of the fire-fighting team. Instead he stays back at the station to do his most favourite thing ever... eat cookies. The Fire Chief is not amused and instructs his crew to get Dan moving and to do his job!
Dan learns a very valuable lesson one day when he is confronted with an empty fire station and a fire that is burning right before his eyes.
"Suddenly, Dan noticed a dark cloud swirling over his head. Smoke filled his nose. He stopped chewing. The little blue rug in front of the stove was on fire!"
Will Dan remember how to fight a fire and extinguish it? Can he single-pawedly ( I made that word up ) save the fire station by his brave actions to snuff out those potentially dangerous flames? Oh my!

This book is based on a tale that was stored away by the author for twenty years. It contains wonderful life lessons: make the right choices, own up to your responsibilities, be a team player if it's required of you and be brave and pro-active in a time of need. The illustrations are colourful and kid-friendly. The author has included Safety tips for both kids and parents at the end of the book and a yummy recipe for Super Snappy Ginger Snaps, Dan's favourite cookies. I love a happy ending and this book delivers. Dan learns his lessons and at the sound of the next fire bell, he dresses up in his fireman gear and is ready to hop on the truck to help out his fellow fire fighters. He proves that he is doggone great at fire fighting!
