Sparky the Fire Dog
Meet Sparky. This adorable Dalmatian puppy—who's celebrating his
SIXTIETH birthday—is an important member of the team at the fire
station. But he's more than just a cute character in a book: Sparky is the
official spokesdog for the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA®),
and what he has to say can actually save lives. This canine hero rescued
a little girl and her family, and now he's helping kids become junior fire
inspectors right in their own homes.
In colorful, appealing illustrations, Sparky takes a group of young animals
through the neighborhood, pointing out hazards, giving basic fire
prevention and safety tips, and showing them how to be prepared in case
of an emergency. From having a working smoke alarm to being careful
with candles and knowing where your exits are, Sparky's advice may be
the most important thing children—and their parents—ever learn.
