This book is great for normalizing personal safety. It works personal safety in with the usual "hold hands when crossing the street" type messages. The thing I love most about this book is that it addresses intuition the one thing that can really help keep kids safe. It DOESN'T promote the message that only strangers hurt you which is of vital importance. Kids learn best by repitition and this book lets you repeat information using colorful well done illustrations (notice the man bothering the little girl does not 'look' scary). It's a terrific tool and I highly recommend it as a way to introduce personal safety to young children.

I would recommend this book to every parent with a young child. It covers lots of different kinds of safety, including that no one should touch you where your bathing suit covers. And stranger danger. There's nothing too scary for a small child, unlike some other "lesson" books I've bought, like a lesson book I bought on anger by Adolph Moser which said some people get so mad they kill. I didn't have to edit out anything in this book.

This book is excellent. It helps teach kids what to do in certain uncomfortable situations without making them scared. My 4 1/2 year old loves it.

We love this book. I purchased it for my 2 1/2 year old and he loves for me to read the "safe" book.

Book doesn't go in depth about specific topics, rather it skims over different issues that may come up. You will have to discuss safety in more depth with your child. Overall, a good way to bring up the subject.
