The age old tale of I wish I wasn't different to everyone else and had the attributes of others, this time told from the point of view of a small town's ambulance who is depressed because it doesn't think it is talented, thinks its life is boring and envies a speedboat, police car, helicopter and other vehicle friends in the town. Of course when the ambulance finally voices it is sad to the town fire truck it learns it has an important purpose, quite exciting role and the other vehicle's lives has some downsides too.The illustrations are quite well drawn, colourful vehicles with mouths in the grills and eyes in the headlights.  If you like the way the vehicles in the movie Cars are drawn, you'll like these ones too.  A good book, could be maybe formatted a bit better to fit the entire Kindle Fire screen rather than just the top two thirds but that would be my only criticism.  The words for their corresponding picture all fit on the one screen in portrait mode though, and that's better than a lot of other Kindle picture books you come across these days.
