Theo, Little Fire Chief

Ages 3–5

When the golden festival bell gets stuck and a kitten gets scared up an oak tree, Theo suits up, teams up with Captain Rosa's crew, and helps save the day with courage, teamwork, and one very long rope.

Children learn that real courage means listening to the team, following safety rules, and helping in ways that are brave and safe.

Theo pulled on the red jacket and snug black boots. Click, click, click went the silver buttons! Last came the brass whistle, safe around his neck. "Ready, Little Chief?" asked Captain Rosa with a wink.

"Whistle blows, ready... go!" called Theo, and the crew hopped aboard. The big red engine rumbled through the streets, past bakeries and gardens, straight toward the bell tower square. Little Chief held on tight and grinned.
