5.0 out of 5 stars Great moral combined with catchy tune, February 6, 2003

If Bukowski were a much happier poet and wrote a children's book with a compact disc so kid's could sing along to the words, this might very well have been the book he would have written. The illustrations are excellent, but the book's greatest draw is the simple but important message of safety for children. Without making them feel like they're drinking cough medicine, Kevi gently makes his point while getting some amusing chuckles along the way. My nephew enjoys it, and -- rare for a kid's book -- so do I! The tune is catchy as well.

This book was a fun way to read to young children and teach stranger safety too. I used it to teach a room full of day care kids from preschool to 2nd grade, we had a blast repeating the words on the rap-CD that came with it.

This is a cute book that will appeal especially to boys. It is supposed to have a cd with a rap,but mine did not come with one.
