This book has big print to make it easy for new readers to read by themselves. There are twelve stories with large pictures. Read about fire fighter rescues, a busy Farmer Pig who likes pickles, Detective Sniff trying to catch a bracelet thief, Francis Fix-It (who can fix everything but exploding fudge), and many more animal adventures.

this is yet another great collection of Scarry stories with many of the usual recurring characters (fire-pigs, bears, cats) that fans of Scarry's work will recognise. Since this is aimed as a 'read it yourself' book for young readers, the stories are quite simple, though they still seem to work as a chapter-per-night bedtime story in this household. ( )
