Book Description

4 and upP and upFamily Storytime
If you are hanging from a trapeze
And up sneaks a camel with bony knees,
Remember this rule, if you please—
Never talk to strangers.

This book brilliantly highlights situations that children will find themselves in—whether they’re at home and the doorbell rings, or playing in the park, or mailing a letter on their street—and tells them what to do if a stranger (always portrayed as a large animal, such as a rhino) approaches. Colorful, ’60s-style “psychedelic” artwork and witty, lively rhyme clearly spell out a message about safety that empowers kids, and that has never been more relevant.

Irma Joyce wrote many Golden Books during the 1960s.

George Buckett was a popular children’s book illustrator during the 1960s.

1.0 out of 5 stars Greatly disappointed, March 17, 2000
By 
M. Martin (Denver, Colorado) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Never Talk to Strangers (Family Storytime) (Hardcover)
I was so excited to find this book, it had been a favorite of mine as a child. Unfortunately when it arrived I was horrified to find that it was published with a new illustrator. The old book had the most beautiful, colorful, magical illustrations. This new addition is drab, and lacks any of the charm of the previous edition. Im sending this book back. Although the theme of the story is an important one, its a shame that they had to change the illustrations.

4.0 out of 5 stars Don't take it so seriously!, February 2, 2002
By A Customer
This is an old-time favorite book of mine, published the year I was born. I've waited a long time to find a copy for me to share with my child. The illustrations are fabulous and the rhymes keep kids giggling. It's a sweet message, but not one that's meant to teach all aspects of personal safety. I'll always love this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is an excellent book !, May 7, 1999
By A Customer
This was one of my favorite books as a child. It was very clear to explain how children should be aware of strangers. This book gave a good description of some of the "animals" children should be aware of by using animal pictures. Considering some of the problems going on with children missing today this book should not be out of print!!!!! I would love for every child in my family to have access to this book.
