"Avi the Ambulance returns in this fourth book of the series, highlighting Israel's Magen David Adom ambulances and their good work saving lives. A favorite of pre-school vehicle-obsessed children, Avi is the smallest and youngest ambulance in the fleet, 'with four shiny wheels that took him everywhere, safely and quickly.' Starting in Jerusalem, and going to Tel Aviv, Haifa, and then Tiberias, Zack the driver plans a trip to the beach to join an ambulance friend who turns out to be a boat (named Noah), not a van, like Avi. Avi is confused until Noah rescues a boy who has fallen off his boat into the lake. Avi then works together with his new friend by taking the boy to be checked at the hospital. The text is appealing, with lots of sound words like 'vroom,' 'whoosh,' and 'buzz.' The backmatter shares information about the real work of Magen David Adom, the Jewish value of piku'ach nefesh, and lists a short glossary of various terms used in the text. The illustrations are perfect for a pre-K child, big and inviting, with Avi anthropomorphized and pretty darn cute.This book is recommended for those who want to continue additions to this popular series."—Association of Jewish Libraries
