MICHAEL AUSTIN ILLUSTRATION: FIRE ENGINE NO. 9

July 6, 2015

Mike Austin’s latest action-packed children’s book, “Fire Engine No. 9” is set for September publication from Random House. Told almost entirely in sound words, this day-in-the-life look at firefighters and their fire truck will appeal to the youngest vehicle enthusiasts and to parents who love read-aloud sessions.

The starred review in Kirkus praises Mike’s cleverly designed onomatopoeic text which creates an urgent, dynamic energy and notes that the “vivid, primary palette bursts from the page, as the Jolly Rancher–red engine sizzles with heat.” Preorder a copy today in Theispot.com Bookstore!
