Ashley Learns About Strangers

Helping Hand Books & Stories

by Sarah Ferguson, Ian Cunliffe (Illustrator)

A crowded store, a distracted parent, and a bored child who wanders off: that's what happens when Ashley and her mom go shopping.

Suddenly, Ashley realizes she's all alone-but a friendly security guard soon reunites mother and daughter.

Children will learn what to do if they are lost and simple rules to follow to stay safe, while parents get hints on warning their children about "stranger danger."

Reviews

[Orit · Rating 2 out of 5]

the only thing I didn't like about this book is it says children should never talk to anyone they don't know, and to me that's extreme. Our rule at home is you can talk to strangers, you can't go with strangers or take things from strangers.

Good book to teach children not to wander off in the store or anywhere else. There are also some tips at the end to help teach about strangers.
