Hugo the Flying Firefighter

Hugo the elephant becomes an unexpected hero when he saves a neighbor's house from fire in this delightful picture book. While flying one afternoon in his plane, Wilco, Hugo spots smoke coming from one of the houses in Hometown. With Wilco's help, quick-thinking Hugo skywrites above the town, alerting the residents and the fire department to the danger. With his handy elephant trunk, Hugo is then first on the ground to help put out the flames. Strong colors, bold illustrations, and an exciting yet straightforward plot make this a charming adventure for parents to read to their toddlers or for very young readers to tackle independently.
