Rusty the Forgotten Fire
Engine is the first in this series and I loved it. This is a fun story about a
fire truck that was once the pride of the town. Eventually, like all things, ages. Leaving Rusty no longer as new and shiny as he once was and becomes the talk of the
town for aging and wearing down.
This book teaches that just because something is old that doesn’t make it obsolete. In fact, there may just be value in them. I love the message of this story and the rhymes within. The illustrations are animated and gorgeous! They drew my attention. The use of a loveable firetruck to teach important life lessons such as aging, empathy, friendship, respect, and value gave me all the feels. I look forward to reading the next book in this series.
I received an advance review copy for free and am leaving this review voluntarily. Thank you Joe Fisher and iRead Book Tours. I'm excited to be a part of this tour.
