It's his birthday, and Rowan does want to cry. Instead of the shiny, newfangled toy fire truck he'd been longing for, he's been given Red, his grandfather's rickety old toy fire truck. Before the tears can spill over, Papa begins fixing up the rusty old relic while regaling Rowan with tales of Red's bygone adventures. Depicted in nostalgic sepia tones and packed with cinematic derring-do, the stories leave Rowan excited to embark on some adventures of his own with the now-refurbished vehicle. Similar to Mike Austin's Fire Engine No. 9, this lively intergenerational picture book is sure to satisfy young truck aficionados.
