Lost in the Woods

by Colleen Politano, Doug Penhale (Illustrator)

After a personal tragedy, the author, a kindergarten teacher, decided she should do something to help her students and students everywhere to be prepared when lost. Beginning with a story to capture the children's attention, Lost in the Woods acts as a model of what a well-informed, resourceful child should do when faced with a frightening situation. The book offers several activities illustrating the safety protocols outlined in the story allowing the child to personally assess the procedures' value. The third section contains information designed to assist parents and teachers in preparing children in the event they find themselves lost.

Useful for children, teachers, and parents to teach children the lessons of how to survive in the woods with experiential/experimental learning as well as a good story.

I story tell this book to Preschool, Jr. Kindergarten, Kindergarten, 1st Grade sometimes 2nd grade.
It is a great way to help kids learn what they can do to stay safe should they ever get lost.
I do some of the fun activities too like the lids on lids off, cold, cold ground and make a bed. This helps show the kids first hand why hats, warm clothing and more is important.
Great book to help give kids skills to survive, I also talk about being safe when exploring and more.

Great BOOK!!!!!
