The firefighters are busy saving the day. How can Rita join in and play?
The firefighters are on their way! Michi and Jayden are playing firefighter, and Rita wants to play, too. But how can she join in when they're too busy putting out fires to notice her? Rita begins to feel left out . . . But with a can-do attitude and a classmate's good idea, Rita finds herself in the middle of the fun in no time.
This story chronicles the challenge one child encounters as she tries to enter the play of others. The book contains a page of information to help you connect the story to children's experiences, which makes it a great teaching tool for your classroom or child care setting.

- February 5, 2014
I recommended that we get copies of this book and the five others by Mike Huber. They are all based on the everyday experiences of preschool-aged children at their daycare. They serve two audiences—one, the kids themselves. They are picture books with engaging illustrations and appropriate for ages 3 and up. But they also serve as great examples for early childhood educators. Mike Huber is a master teacher and provides trainings nationally for other early childhood educators. I recently passed these books on to a new early childhood educator and she loved them! She shared them with her own children, who really responded to the illustrations and the stories.
