"Fire! Fire!" Said Mrs. McGuire by Bill Martin Jr. illustrated by Richard Egielski

A rapidly sequenced story beginning with a newscaster announcing that there was a fire downtown.  Female characters lead the way to the actual fire.
Rhyming couplets-word families-make the reading fun.
A surprise funny ending!
Warning:  I may be being oversensitive, Mrs. Votter is quite seductive (and is meant to be).  Firemen are all too eager to give her a glass of water!!
Strategies: cause/effect; sequencing
Guided Reading Level: F
