Peek Inside How a Fire Truck Works front cover: a red fire engine with a silver ladder on its roof parked in a pastel street, one firefighter in yellow helmet and tan trousers opening a locker of hoses at the rear, a second climbing a ladder to a burning blue roof with a jet of water, a third running from the cab with a radio, and grey smoke rolling across the title, under the Usborne banner Peek inside.

Interior spread from Peek Inside How a Fire Truck Works: the grey fire station at sunrise with two red roller doors, six peek through holes cut in each door showing the trucks parked behind, an upstairs window propped open, and a firefighter with a yellow backpack greeting a spotted Dalmatian saying Woof. The printed line reads, It is the start of the day at the fire station and there is lots to do.

From Usborne, the British children's publisher that turned the board book into something to operate: press the buttons in its sound books to hear the scenes come alive, move a slider to change both the picture and the noise, lift a flap to see what is underneath.

Built for hands that are still learning to be gentle, which is exactly what makes them such dependable first-birthday and baby-shower gifts.

The alarm goes off and the whole station moves at once, and this little board book lets a three year old ride along. Lift the flaps and look through the holes cut into the pages to explore the cab, roll out the hoses and slide out the ladder, and find out what every part of a fire truck is actually for.

The engineering is the point, and so is the crew. Firefighters slide the pole, pull tan trousers and yellow helmets off the rack, check the lockers against a clipboard, and take the truck out through traffic that pulls over to let it through. It is an honest first look at some of the people who help us, told entirely through things a small reader can open with their own hands.

Fourteen sturdy board pages by Lara Bryan, illustrated by Caroline Attia, for truck obsessed explorers aged three and up. It shelves beside Peek Inside the Farm, and Peek Inside Animal Homes, Peek Inside Springtime, Peek Inside a Bird's Nest and Peek Inside Space are all already at Stellar Luxe.
