So there's a new thing in our library: bean bag chairs. Ben especially loves them! I try and get the kids not to take a few steps back and jump into them; I do my best to express how they were purchased and placed for kids to sit and read. They do that, sometimes, but it usually takes a few jumps for them to settle in between the beans.
What does this have to do with Fireman Small? Well, the bean bags are placed not in the middle of the children's area, but on the outskirts, between John Segal (of Carrot Soup
acclaim) and Paul Zelinsky (think the gorgeous The Wheels on the Bus
). The bean bags are right next to the Z section. 
So we spend a lot of time at the end of the alphabet when the bean bags are available. That's why and where we found the cute little series by Yee. This is a long poem of a book about Fireman Small, the lone fireman in a small town. He is trying to get to sleep but emergencies keep waking him up: a cat in a tree, a fire in town, and things of that nature. Lorelei loves the poem, and Ben loves firetrucks, so it works for both of them. As the bean bags were available on Tuesday afternoon when we popped into the library after nap time, we just got the next in the series. I'll let you know how it is!PS I couldn't find an Amazon link for the book, so I put up a tape recording/book combo, definitely not what we checked out. It seems that the book is not available to purchase. (Oh by the way, if you buy books through my blog, I get a teensy-weensy commission, though you're not charged any extra.)
