A little girl imagines the skills, equipment, and procedures needed to be an effective firefighter.  Along with her observations are boxes with additional information.  The bright watercolor and colored pencil artwork excellently illustrates the large text on each page.  A final page tells about classes one needs to take and physical fitness required to become a firefighter.  A glossary, index, internet sites, and books to read are included.  Other books in the Dream Big! series are:  If I Were a Ballerina, If I Were a Cowboy, If I Were a Major League Baseball Player, If I Were an Astronaut, and If I Were the President.  Books in this series are a good resource for children imagining their futures.
