Safety Can Be Fun

Rating:
Summary: Entertaining and very informative...
Review: I read this book as a kid and it was probably the funniest book in the library. This book is basically a catalog of different kids who do unsafe things. Each one has a picture and a silly "NIT-WIT" name, like the Dare Dumb Nit-Wit who is about to jump off the top of the stairs. Munro Leaf does a great job of explaining why you don't want to do the things these kids do, so the book has lessons to learn while still being entertaining. The drawings (stick figures) are very simple, but are pretty funny for children to see. Years later, I still remember the drawings of the kids who got into the shower without checking how hot it was, pet a strange dog and got his arm stuck in the dog's mouth, who ran and fell with a lollipop in his mouth... the stick figures are not gory or violent, just kind of silly.

Review: This is a great book that teaches even the smallest child about using safety in different situations. It is hilarious yet helpful in teaching safety. Don't leave toys on the steps or you'll be a nit wit. Many other valuable lessons to learn!
