My Review
I chose to read this book after receiving a free copy from iRead Book Tours. All opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased.
Once again, poor Rusty the old fire engine is forgotten even though he’s a hero. Some children still remember him, though, and want him to go to the water park with them. Rusty saves the day again, but this time, he’ll be remembered!
Rusty Goes to Water World is another fun book for children, best read aloud to younger children because there is a lot of text. The illustrations are great with bright colors.
