A Stranger In The Park is an excellent instructional tool for children. -- Dallas Assistant Police Chief Marlin Price
Product Description
The "nice man" needs help finding his lost puppy. An excellent non-scary teaching tool for parents to read to children and discuss the family who unknowingly set the stage for an attempted kidnaping of their daughter in the park. When the "nice man" is arrested, the Police Chief cautions and teaches Grant and Karen about safety rules and challenges them to teach other kids. Grant and Karen begin with their multi-cultural, multi-racial neighborhood friends and they form a group and call themselves THE CAUTION CREW™. They proceed to teach other children important personal safety rules. Cautioncrew.com, a site designed for children, reinforces these safety rules and lists state policies for missing children.
Children 3-11 will experience a story about children like themselves in 36 pages of beautiful color. The Summary of Personal Safety Tips, plus fill in the blank, will help children learn the importance of acquiring and practicing personal safety rules. 1. Never talk to strangers. 2 Know your telephone number. 3. Know your street address. 4. Be aware of people near you when your parents are not with you. 5. No grownup should ever ask you for help. They should ask another grownup. 6. You do not have to touch a car or go near the car to talk to someone in that car. A person sitting in a car can grab you if you get too close. So, talk from a distance. 7. If a stranger grabs you and no one is around to help, fall to the ground and let your body be totally limp like a rag. Practice this. 8. If a stranger touches you, yell "help" or "This is not my dad" or "This is not my mom." Practice this also.
