Dear Readers

Firefighters in the Community





In the town where I live, the firefighters are volunteers. These men
and women are often the first ones on the scene, not only for fires but also vehicle
accidents and other safety matters. I’m impressed by and grateful for these volunteers’

selflessness and their concern for our community.
This month—which is National Fire Prevention Month—we explore how firefighters
stay prepared for emergencies in the feature “Firefighters at the Station” (pages 12–15).
From cleaning the firehouse to testing gear, firefighters do a lot to stay ready.
To learn more about firefighters and fire trucks, watch a Highlights video
at HighlightsKids.com/fire-engine.
Sincerely,y,
We love to hear
from you!

Big Wind

















By Noelle Poulet • Art by Mette Engell























































Big wind, how you rush and roar


and scatter things about.

You grab the laundry from the line


and turn it inside out.


You throw the toys from our backyard

onto our neighbors’ lawn.


And then, instead of cleaning up,


when morning comes, you’re gone!

Zoo Sounds













Tex and Indi
By Lissa Rovetch • Art by Amy Wummer




































































Tex and Indi were playing “name that animal” at

the zoo with their younger cousins, William and Mia.


Tex prowled around and pawed the air. “Look,”


he said. “There are the rawr-rawr-rawrs!”


Mia made her fingers into claws too, like Tex.

“Lions!” she said, laughing.









6 October 2019

“Can you two see the ork-ork-orks?” Indi pointed to


a big, calm pool of water. All of a sudden, two sea lions


popped up with a big SPLASH!


“Sea lions!” William cheered.








October 2019 7

“Ooh,” said Tex. “I spy with my little eye


a sss-slippery, sss-slithering . . .”


“Snake!” said Mia.






8 October 2019

“What wonderful animals,” said Mom, smiling.


“Who would you like to visit next?”


Right that second, loud laughter cackled behind

them, making everybody jump with surprise.


“Monkeys!” the cousins all shouted.


The whole family giggled together.

FIREFIGHTERS








at the Station

These are firefighters.





12 October 2019





When they arrive at work, they check the fire truck


and firefighting gear to make sure it all works.

They beep the horns,

start up power equipment,


and turn on lights.


Then they set their gear near


their truck. This helps them be

ready to fight fires or help in


other emergencies.

Firefighters


wear a special


uniform. This


includes thick

pants and a coat,


a neck cover, a


face mask, and

air packs.


Air packs protect


the firefighters


from breathing in


the hot air and

smoke from a fire.

14 October 2019

After checking the truck and gear,


the firefighters do chores. They take


care of the firehouse like a home.

They might cook meals, mop floors,


or clean the kitchen.

Firefighters do lots of things to make


sure they are ready when needed.

A Picture for Grandma









By Pamela Love • Art by Colleen Madden











































































“Grandpa, there’s a deer in the yard!” Carter pointed


out the window.


Grandpa turned to look. “He’s quite a fellow, isn’t he?”

“Look at his big antlers,” said Carter.






20 October 2019

“Let’s take a picture


for Grandma,” said


Carter.


Grandpa took out

his cell phone. “My


phone’s battery is


out,” he said. “I can’t

take a picture. Let’s


look for the camera.”



















Carter searched


the bookcase.


Grandpa looked

on the coffee


table. Finally,


Carter found


the camera

in a closet.


But, by then,


the deer had


left the yard.














October 2019 21

“I’m sorry we couldn’t take a picture of the deer for

Grandma, Carter,” said Grandpa.


“I can still do that,” said Carter, and he got to work.


































































































22 October 2019

When Grandma came home, Carter handed

her a picture. “This is for you,” he said.


“Thank you for drawing this for me, Carter,”


said Grandma.


“He’s quite a fellow, isn’t he?” said Carter.


“And so are you,” said Grandma.
