My Review:
I adored the start of Joe Fisher’s The Adventures of Rusty the Forgotten Fire Engine series, Rusty The Forgotten Fire Engine, and I was excited to have the opportunity to read the next book in the series, Rusty Goes to Water World. This time around the people of Someport-by-the-Sea are honoring Rusty. It was fun to see what happens and seeing how the adventures will unfold. I like the lesson of not giving up and stepping in to help a friend. I loved it taking this this cute journey with Rusty and his friends.
Rusty Goes to Water World is illustrated by the talented artist, Jaye Boswell. The colorful and vivid pictures perfectly go along with the story and were a perfect addition to the tale. They are helpful with keeping the younger readers engaged and understand as to what is going on.
Rusty Goes to Water World will be getting a very well deserved five plus stars. It would be a great fit for readers who are between the ages of three and eight. I would love to see it on shelves in local libraries and classrooms for story times. I look forward to reading the next installment from the The Adventures of Rusty the Forgotten Fire Engine series to see what else happens to Rusty the Fire Engine. This one should not be missed.
I received a hard cover copy of Rusty Goes to Water World from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
Thank you for the review. Sounds like a great book for children.
