I sat in the local cafe yesterday eating a cupcake and reading this book about Billy the Goat.  This is one book in a series of many and my favorite so far.  The illustrations are really gorgeous and fun and the story itself is beautifully written.  In this book Billy spends a summer day playing with friends by pretending to be firemen.  When he tells his parents about this experience at dinner that night they are touched by his desire to be a "hero".  His dad knows someone who knows someone and arranges for Billy to visit a Fire Station to learn what firemen (and women) really do.  Billy enjoys his adventure and learns an important lesson about what a hero really is.  I highly recommend this book for children and the young at heart.
