Mobi Shinobi, the wacky ninja with a penchant for helping people, is back! And this time, he has a job at the firehouse. The chief is impressed with his resume and the hoard of skills that include stuffing, twisting, stacking, soaring, and swinging, amongst others.
As expected, the little ninja tries to hang up the gear, spray the hose, and climb a ladder but quickly finds that his expertise has no takers in a firehouse. But fret not; it’s not long before the wild ninja finds another opportunity. The book concludes with Mobi using his skills to save the day.
The short sentences and the pleasant animation-style artwork are just the right combos to entice an early reader.
Simple yet entertaining and hilarious!
Recommended for early readers looking for zingy adventures.
