Magnus at the Fire

Award-winning author Jennifer Armstrong makes history come alive through the heartwarming tale of a 19th-century horse who demonstrates to children the importance of responsibility and duty. Even when Magnus the horse is told his services to the Broadway Firehouse are no longer needed, he continues appearing at the scenes of fires. Luckily, for the townspeople and the firemen, Magnus turns up just when they need him the most. "This is a fine tribute to the four-legged 'smoke eaters' that bravely served their communities."-School Library Journal
