"That irresistible and very natural small boy, Little Eddie, is the subject of the author's latest and funniest book. One year older, Eddie has lost none of his passion for accumulating 'valuable property' and stray animals. This time it is an old fire engine, recently retired by the fire department, and a goat, which catch the young collector's fancy and feature largely in the amusing incidents which comprise this thoroughly enjoyable story." — A.L.A. Booklist

"Another smash hit by the author of 'B is for Betsy' and the Penny books as well as a previous book about Little Eddie. Full of everyday and ridiculous situations that will tickle the young funnybone, I believe that this author has never written a book that her readers will enjoy more than this one. She seems to understand exactly what her readers think is funny and interesting. Large clear type and many active, expressive black and white pictures." — Virginia H. Mathews, Publishers' Weekly

"This popular author offers her most sparkling book to date. Every boy or girl who has ever longed for a ride on a fire engine will find the story immensely satisfying." — Cleveland News
