A rhyming first reader with vocabulary words at the end. It has a theme of “cause and effect” to emphasize safety during play time.

I don't enjoy the Magic Castle Readers because they are generic in nature. They not only begin with the same "window", they also read the same. This wouldn't be so bad but I hd most of the series. Jess

Simple early reader format and text, but content more appropriate for a toddler/ preschooler.

Loved the Safety book in the back to discuss safety ideas. Also could make your own.

A preschool and up book about safety. Here Little Hippo keeps being unsafe in his play: riding his bike too fast, climbing on chairs and jumping on beds. Can he find the safe way to climb, jump and ride? Love the tips in the form of hippo's book at the end.
