Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Kindergarten-Grade 2—A young bear wakes up one morning smelling smoke, and when he can't find a firefighter, he becomes one. But Firefighter Ted gets so distracted by the details of being a rescue hero that he doesn't pay attention to what is actually happening around him. He uses a fire extinguisher on a piece of burnt toast among other disasters. Ted does, however, end up "rescuing" the school principal in a fairly spectacular way, proving that he does have fire-safety skills. Beaty and Lemaitre, who previously teamed up for Doctor Ted (S & S, 2008), again bring a light hand to their story. Ted is lovable despite his bumbling and his tendency to cause more trouble. A good book for all wannabe firefighters and for those who just love a fun story.—Susan E. Murray, Glendale Public Library, AZ END

The characters in Andrea's humorous picture books and novels are smart, funny, and unapologetic in their passion. They are doers. Curiosity, creativity, innovation and persistence are recurring themes in her work.

From architecture-obsessed IGGY PECK, ARCHITECT to the inventive ROSIE REVERE, ENGINEER to the irrepressible magician in training, Robbie Darko (DORKO THE MAGNIFICENT). And then there is the fiercely funny Ted (DOCTOR TED, FIREFIGHTER TED, ARTIST TED) who can't be stopped when he puts his mind to something.

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 Stars Are Not Enough, A Great Birthday Gift for the 2+ Year Old in Your Life

What a great story! We love all 3 Ted books and wish for more! Both my 6 and 3 year old love this story! Great for a boy or a girl, but the perfect story for your little fireman! I had to buy my 3 year old son fireman rain boots, now he dresses up in his boots and hat and walks around the house saying Fire Ted (He is non-verbal and autistic and anything to get him to speak gets our vote... he is also starting to request this story at bedtime).
Andrea Beaty, if you are reading this....WE NEED MORE TED!!!

My 2 year old daughter would cry every time we had to return Firefighter Ted to our local Library so I decided that Santa should bring her her very own copy for Christmas. The best decision ever. Now we can read the book when ever she wants (which is at least twice a week). She loves how silly Ted is but how even little Ted can save the day at the end. A great book for kids who love firefighters.
