When Harold chases a mischievous squirrel into the forest - trying to recover a doll's rollerblades that the squirrel is wearing - he encounters a smoldering forest fire that is growing larger. Eager to save animals and preserve their homes, Harold rushes toward the blaze. That's the wrong move, as he learns from the fear he suddenly feels, and from lectures he receives when fire fighters arrive. Along with his friend Gina, Harold ends the ordeal wiser, and safely instructed by parents.
Harold and Gina Fight Fire starts with an ordinary neighborhood activity, two children at play together outdoors. It moves to a lesson in good manners as Harold frantically races to retrieve his friend's toys. The story quickly turns to the big theme of wildfires and their effects. It gives a lesson in forest-animal habitat and wildfire danger, and it guides a child to the best response to a fire. While pleasing children with a playful, rollicking tale, the book illustrates neighborliness, and it shows responsibility in several ways, including care for the environment and respect for first responders.
Harold and Gina Fight Fire was originally published with the title Harold Whips a Wildfire. The story and illustrations under this new title are identical to the original version.
Harold and Gina Fight Fire is the fourth book of New England outdoor adventures that feature big-hearted but mischievous Harold, along with his friend and neighbor Gina. Like all Harold and Gina books, it is part of the White Mountain Children's Adventure series from Free People Publishing.
Other books in the White Mountain Children's Adventure series are A Bear in Camp with Harold and Gina, Harold and Gina Meet a Moose, Harold the Helpful Hiker, Harold Leaps into Lake Winnie, and Harold Skis the Steeps. All of the books are freestanding and do not need to be read in any sequence. All contain charming, encouraging and action-packed stories that convey accurate knowledge and understanding of Nature to children, while encouraging children to be active and enjoy the outdoors.
