Liked shark vs. train better than this one. Still silly and fun.

First, I would like to thank Hachette Book Group Canada for sending me a copy in exchange for an honest review! This was such a cute and funny story about two very different characters.

I think this would be great for children who are a bit older that would understand the pictures where there's no dialogue happening, but also could be teacher/parent led.


I also Loved the illustrations in the book, they were super vibrant and definitely something children would want to stare at all day!

Overall this was a super funny and entertaining children's book and I definitely think this would be something that everyone would enjoy reading or listening to!

Do you have one of those family members that know just how to tease? I have a few uncles that do! You know, the one who know you're just waiting for them to do that one thing that they do....
That's how this book felt to me. The kids are just waiting for the fire truck and the dragon to go at it. And they do. But they do everything you don't really want them to do. Until the very end :)

My kid loves this one, though he finds it a bit long at times

Not quite the same amount of fun as Shark vs. Train.

Those kids were understandably irritated. All they wanted was to see some fire!
