This was an extra book we got from the library as it hid itself in another book and hitched a ride home with us ahha. So we figured may as well read it. This covers a few items about safety like water safety and stranger safety. It gave little tips on each page that my daughter enjoyed. Overall it was a good informational read.

A good book for toddlers to start the conversation about safety without scaring them. Read to my almost 4 year old and we were able to have a conversation about safe people and what to do if someone is doing something to you that you don’t like.

[Trish]

A great book about safety for little kids.

This book is a great health science book for kids grades 1-3. It could also be read to any classes Pre-K through 2nd. This book teaches young students how to be safe around the pool and strangers, and teaches how to make good decisions. This could be used as a lesson in safety and health.

Introduces safety tips for children in a non-threatening way. Nice illustrations with conversational tips. Great book for parents to share with their children.

[Laramie Howard]

This book is so cute and I love the way that it is illustrated. It has a some nice tips for when you go swimming and how to be safe and not get hurt.

I only wonder why it has to be a "mom with kids" that Hugo is supposed to ask for help. What about a police officer or someone else along those lines? Otherwise I really enjoyed this book.

Synopsis: "With a refreshingly empowering approach, A Little Book About Safety tackles the tough topic of kids’ personal safety in a gentle, memorable way.
When adorable little Hugo Hippo heads out for a day of fun with his family at The Happy Herd Community Pool, he is confronted by all sorts of opportunities to make choices about his own safety. He learns to trust his own “Uh-Oh Feeling” when something feels too scary; he remembers to “Check First” with a safe adult before going anywhere unexpected; and he learns exactly what to do in case he gets lost. In this colorful story full of lovable characters and relatable situations, young kids will absorb essential tools and tips to keep themselves safe."

My Review: I picked this book up expecting it to be water safety tips but while this book takes place at a pool and beach, the tips are more general safety tips. I like how they were just the common tips like don't talk to strangers, but more unique but very helpful ones, like listening to your uh oh feeling, or if you are lost finding another mom instead of approaching just anyone. It was a good story, and one that sparked Munchkin to really set his mind to remembering my phone number.
