Editorial Product Review: :The system was simple. Everyone understood it. Books were burning...along with the houses in which they were hidden. Guy Montag enjoyed his job. He had been a fireman for 10 years, and he had never questioned the pleasure of the midnight runs nor the joy of watching pages consumed by flames...never questioned anything until he met a 17-year- old girl who told him of a past when people were not afraid. Then he met a professor who told him of a future in which people could think...and Guy Montag suddenly realized ...

'The bright-colored pencil drawings and lean text make this a great choice for preschool storytimes, as well as for beginning readers who want a funny story.' (School Library Journal) Review: 'Beep! Beep! Sheep in a jeep on a hill that's steep.' This story, much like the jeep, gathers momentum from page one.
