nother lovely book in the Paramedic Chris series, teaching children about the ambulance service but also about how to work together and be kind to each other. Lovely images and a great way to practise reading with little ones.

Most children are introduced to a paramedic if someone is sick or hurt, which can be rather scary. This is a wonderful book to introduce children to the important job of a paramedic. It also explores a school setting and how bullying can impact everyone in a negative way.

Paramedic Chris and the Runaway Chicken is a simple yet beautifully meaningful story that delivers a powerful message in a fun and child-friendly way. The book shows how fear can really hold you back — whether you’re a child, an adult, or even a runaway chicken! — but it also highlights how everything changes when people come together to help one another. The characters, Paramedic Chris and Zara, bring warmth, kindness, and calm reassurance as they help solve an unexpected problem. The illustrations are bright, engaging, and perfect for keeping little ones’ attention at bedtime. My favourite part is how naturally the book teaches children about the importance of community, courage, and looking out for each other. It’s also a great light read for adults who enjoy simple, heartwarming stories with lovely imagery. Overall, this book is gentle, uplifting, and full of charm. Highly recommended for families, schools, and anyone who loves stories that make a difference.
