Goodreads

Lou is a fire hydrant. Throughout their life, they believe they’re only meant to be a dog toilet, but they feel like they have more to offer the world. One day, a store catches fire, and Lou is finally able to realize their true and full potential.

This books is slightly funny and a little gross with all the dog pee everywhere. Lou is likable and readers will find themselves rooting for Lou when the fire starts. The digitally rendered illustrations are high color and simple but help complete the story and show emotion. Recommended for readers 3 and up.
