Five Little Firemen
Klassikkotarina sankarillisista palomiehistä alkuperäisenä, laajempana versiona.
Pim-pom! soi palokunnan hälytyskello. Viiden reippaan pikku palosotilaan on jätettävä päivällisensä kesken. Nuolena he syöksyvät lattiassa olevalle aukolle ja liukuvat tankoa myöten alas autojen luo. Ja kun tulipalo on saatu sammutetuksi ja asukkaat turvaan naapuriin, on miesten aika palata paloasemalle. Silloin taas uni maittaa!
Tammen kultaiset kirjat ovat tärkeä osa suomalaista lapsuutta. Sarja on oiva osoitus siitä, miten korkeatasoinen lasten kuvakirja säilyttää suosionsa sukupolvelta toiselle.
Moni jo isovanhemmaksikin ehtinyt muistaa Tammen kultaiset kirjat omasta lapsuudestaan. Ehkä pienet lukijat vuorostaan löytävät sarjan kirjoista tarinoita, joita he muistelevat vielä vuosikymmentenkin päästä.

About the author
Margaret Wise Brown
393 books1,210 followersMargaret Wise Brown wrote hundreds of books and stories during her life, but she is best known for Goodnight Moon and The Runaway Bunny. Even though she died nearly 70 years ago, her books still sell very well.
Margaret loved animals. Most of her books have animals as characters in the story. She liked to write books that had a rhythm to them. Sometimes she would put a hard word into the story or poem. She thought this made children think harder when they are reading.
She wrote all the time. There are many scraps of paper where she quickly wrote down a story idea or a poem. She said she dreamed stories and then had to write them down in the morning before she forgot them.
She tried to write the way children wanted to hear a story, which often isn't the same way an adult would tell a story. She also taught illustrators to draw the way a child saw things. One time she gave two puppies to someone who was going to draw a book with that kind of dog. The illustrator painted many pictures one day and then fell asleep. When he woke up, the papers he painted on were bare. The puppies had licked all the paint off the paper.
Margaret died after surgery for a bursting appendix while in France. She had many friends who still miss her. They say she was a creative genius who made a room come to life with her excitement. Margaret saw herself as something else - a writer of songs and nonsense.

Cute story, introduces 1940s fireman life. Fun pictures. One star off because each family member escaping the fire grabs the item that is the most important to them… not a practice I want my kids to try. The plus side was it provided an opportunity to discuss with my kids that we don’t stop to grab things when the house is on fire, our lives are the most important thing and we just get out. Also another star off because it has the mother’s most valuable item as her mirrors and pillow, and father’s most valuable thing being a tobacco pipe… smoking and vanity aren’t the things I’d want my kids to value. Maybe the intent was for the family to look foolish/ignorant, but if this was the case, it wasn’t clear on a young child’s level.

Na 30 keer lezen heb ik dit boek toch maar verstopt. Het voordeel én het nadeel is dat Annie M. G. Schmidt dit bewerkt heeft, waardoor het loopt als een trein maar waardoor je, als je niet oppast, 8 al die 5 brandweermannetjes op en rij zit te benoemen. -1 ster uit medelijden voor tante Mina Lutteput, die 'te dik is om uit het raam te tillen', maar ook 'te lief om te verbranden'.

A vivid memory of Tibor Gergely's illustrations of Brown's tale of the five brave firemen.

Tässä oli joku erikoiskiva, kun piti lukea kolmena päivänä peräkkäin.

Duidelijk gedateerd, maar desondanks wel een aardig voorleesverhaal.

Great book on explaining how multiple people of a fire crew all have different jobs and things they do from start to finish. Written well for little kids to understand

Well, this book has a bad message in it. When one family, the "Hurricane Jones" family (?!) is being rescued from a fire, they all stop to grab their favorite things... Now two of the children rescue animals, which I can understand. But the third one stops to grab her flowers, and then their mother stops to throw her mirrors out the window?! All the mirrors just break. What in the world? And nobody admonishes them for STOPPING to GRAB FLOWERS AND THROW MIRRORS!

4.5, both for the art and content.
Second book I've read from Margaret Wise Brown.

Tammen kultaisten sitä paremmin aikaa kestäneitä osia. Vähän liian amerikkaa ja vähän pöhköä, mutta näillä meidät kasvatettiin kunnon ihmisiksi, joten ei ne ihan skeidaa voineet olla. Vai?
