School Library Journal Review
K-Gr 3-Young readers will feel the excitement that Cook's TV show generates as each title opens with the phrase, "This is Daniel Cook," along with an introduction about the things that he likes to do. With hands raised, clad in his orange T-shirt, he takes readers on four typical outings. Chock-full of fun facts and amusing, colorful photographs, each book has an activity at the end. These titles are great preparations for field trips, making them excellent for school libraries.-Tracy Bell, Eastway Elementary School, Durham, NC (c) Copyright 2010.

Publisher's Weekly Review
Fans of the TV star will welcome the first four books in the This Is Daniel Cook series of paper-over-board books: This Is Daniel Cook at the Farm; This Is Daniel Cook at the Fire Station; This Is Daniel Cook on a Hike and This Is Daniel Cook on a Plane. With full-color stills from the television program, the books offer information on each of the four subjects, often with asides from the young, inquisitive hero, and close with a related activity.

Horn Book Review
Inquisitive, overly excited Daniel Cook (young host of a Canadian kids' TV show) visits a fire station where he learns all about firefighters, tries on their gear, and plays in their truck. Readers will learn basic information about firefighters' work, but only Cook's fans will be interested in his exploits. Directions for making a family fire-escape plan are included.
