Even Firefighters Go to the Potty: A Potty Training Lift-the-Flap Story is another favorite book that isn't pictured here. It shows people of many different professions using the potty.

This one is another favorite:

My husband is a firefighter, so we have been fortunate to take family trips to the firehouse as well as have him come in as a guest speaker. He reads this book to my fourth graders.


Watch him and his fellow coworkers on the NBC Nightly News for a segment called Hiring Our Heroes (veterans).

If you aren't able to make a trip to a firehouse, check out this virtual field trip.
