Review:
"A terrific picture book....The story alone is a winner--'the little engine that could' for our time--but the bonus of Kalman's brilliantly colored naive paintings should guarantee FIREBOAT a shelf life for years to come."
Elizabeth Ward, Washington Post Book World, 08/25/2002
Review:"Maira Kalman's fans will recognize her whimsical style in both language and drawing in this beautifully illustrated book, even as it captures some of the city's darkest hours."
Eric Nagourney, New York Times Book Review, 09/29/2002

Book Description: Puffin Books. Paperback / softback. Book Condition: new. BRAND NEW, Fireboat: The Heroic Adventures of the John J. Harvey, Maira Kalman, This is the inspiring true story of the John J. Harvey -- a retired New York City fireboat reinstated on September 11, 2001. Originally launched in 1931, the Harvey was the most powerful fireboat of her time. After the September 11 attacks, with fire hydrants at Ground Zero inoperable and the Hudson River's water supply critical to fighting the blaze, the fire department called on the Harvey for help. There were adjustments -- forcing water into hoses by jamming soda bottles and wood into nozzles with a sledgehammer -- and then the fireboat's volunteer crew pumped much-needed water to the disaster site. The John J. Harvey proved she was still one of New York's Bravest!Maira Kalman brings a New York City icon to life, celebrating the energy, vitality and hope of a place and its people.
