5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended for family, school, and community libraries., April 7, 2000
This review is from: Who is a Stranger, and What Should I Do? (Hardcover)
Most children art taught at home and at school not to talk to strangers. In Who Is A Stranger And What Should I Do?, Linda Girard takes the idea further by explaining about "kind" strangers, the stranger who is not a child's friend, strangers in public places, "doorbell" strangers, and others. Girard's practical, well presented text is illustrated with the artwork of Helen Cogancherry to provide young readers ages 6 to 12 with visual reinforcement of sound and sensible narrative. Who Is A Stranger And What Should I Do? is enhanced for the reader with ten "what if" situations and topics for discussion with parents, teachers, and caregivers. Highly recommended for personal, school, and community library child safety collections.

3.0 out of 5 stars not age appropriate, May 9, 2004
This book is listed as age appropriate for 4-year-olds. In my opinion, it is way too complex for this age group, I would say more for ages 6 on up. Check it out at your library first.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stranger Savvy, March 24, 2005
This excellent book is a good teaching tool for helping children recognize who is a "kind" stranger as opposed to someone they don't know who is unkind. The beautiful illustrations add to the books appeal; the hypothetical scenarios will undoubtedly help children and parents think of methods to apply when faced with "unkind" strangers.
