From the publisher

Comical adventure and silly mishaps are hallmarks of Richard Scarry’s stories, and this Step 2 early reader delivers both. Smokey the fireman puts out fires with his fire truck, but when he’s in the country, a bucket brigade will have to do! And whether you’re in the city or the country, it’s always a great idea to have some berry pie at the end of a busy day of firefighting! Step 2 Readers use basic vocabulary and short sentences to tell simple stories, for children who recognize familiar words and can sound out new words with help.
