A kindle copy was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.

An excellent book for children how to handle fire and what not to do.

Bart and his friend Charlie, the dog, Oberon the tortoise, and Bella the rabbit like going out and have fun. This day they decided to go into the near forest. But feeling hungry after a while walking and Bart wanted to have a hot doge, they lit a fire in forest. Bart, not thinking of the consequences, threw the match away.

they had an argument, his friends told him, never to threw a match away, it could lit a bush fires. But Bart became angry with them and so went his own way.

After a while, he was hungry again, and so he lit another fire to roast his marshmallows. And there it began.

To find out what happened then, you have to get the book.

An excellent book with great colourful drawings.

Bart walked in the woods with some friends. They stopped for lunch and Bart lit a camp fire with a match and threw it into a bush. Charlie told him no you must not. Bella told him he needs to be more careful. Put the fire all the way out when your done cooking. Bart was tired of being picked on even though they were just afraid for him and the forest animals. He walked away and after awhile he got hungry again and made another fire. He roasted marshmallows and went to sleep. What woke him up? Was there a problem in the forrest?
I borrowed this book on a Kindle Unlimited website and so can you.

Language used not good for young kids

Don't recommend, too scary with rude language. Exactly as terrible as I thought a free book might be. Pay for a book

[Lynn · Rating 3 out of 5]

Would be great for groups of children learning how to NOT play with fire and or to start it for them selves by them selves!

"A Very Important Lesson For Kids"

This is an excellent children's lesson book about the danger of fires ... in this case, forest fires. Bart and his friends Charlie the dog, Oberon the turtle, and Bella the rabbit take a trip through the forest. They stop for lunch in the woods where Bart becomes uncaring about hot embers left on the ground, and also tosses a match into the undergrowth. His friends chastise him and he becomes angry, that is until ... well, you know what happens! Children will learn much about the caution of playing with matches. The illustrations are great for kids and reflect serious emotions and actions. The author also provides you free activity pages of games and coloring on her web page. This is a very worthy story.

Playing with Fire is a children’s book about fire safety in the woods. Bart the bear goes hiking with his friends. He is careless with matches and with fires he lights, ignoring the advice on fire safety he receives from his friends because he is irritated at being told what to do. Naturally, his fire gets out of control, and a serious disaster is only narrowly averted.

This would make a good book for young readers – probably anyone who has been reading for about a year. Less if they are proficient readers. It could also be read to younger children.

The cover art is fairly representative of the artwork in the book.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
