This book provides children with many safety building skills. The book also pays close attention to a child's personal needs rather than everyone's needs in general. Safety in this book is presented in a very child friendly way as well.

This is a great book for young children who may be experiencing horse play. It does a great job of explaining both the harms that can happen to a young child. It also shows the rewards when we are safe.

This is a child friendly book about how to play safe on the playground. A good book to remind children before going outdoors about how to have fun and be safe. Remind them about our safety rules so them nor their friends get hurt and all have a fun time outside.

This was a very accessible, non-threatening book for the topic it addressed. Great lessons (Always make sure adults know where you are, instincts, seek out adults for help, difference between a secret and a surprise, private parts are private, adults don't ask kids for help). Illustrations are cute and it is a book that you could read over and over and talk about a different topic each time. A great overall resource.

This adorable non-fiction children's book teaches children about safety. This would be great to use in a pre-kindergarten or kindergarten classroom teach children about playing safe. This is also a book I would have available in my classroom library for students to revisit and remind themselves of how to play it safe. Overall, I think this is an adorable, educational children's book that could be used in the classroom.

Very didactic, but a good message and it is presented in a unique way.

[Kathleen Ruff]

THis is a great book that could be used in a lesson about safety. This book could lead to topic about safety in a plane, walking across the street, and playing outside.

[Drew]

I didn't really like the flow of this book. It almost read like two different stories.

[Tracie]

Nice little picture book that speaks to a child's imagination while giving skills to keep safe.

This book is written by an expert in child safety and it helps parents to talk about a difficult topic, childhood personal safety. This book has a lot of great illustrations that help to outline the information. I would use this book within my classroom because it helps to teach children about the topics of safe versus harmful touches, identifying trusted adults, and trusting their instincts. These topics can be very difficult to address, so using books helps to raise children's awareness and understanding. Children need to know that they have the confidence they need to make smart choices about their personal safety.
