This Level C "Rookie Reader" contains rhyming stanzas that advise kids to wash their hands, avoid eating wild berries or sitting in wet paint. In soft illustrations, multi-ethnic children clutch adults' hands, climb trees carefully, sit correctly in chairs, tie their shoes, wear bike helmets, and buckle their seatbelts. The cautionary advice blends perfectly with the muted art. The overall message shifts the text's emphasis away from "don't do this" to an upbeat ending: "Always be safe in whatever you do. Nothing is quite as important as you." This is an important, educational book for any library or home school collection.

This book will help teach children about personal safety.  It includes a story about a girl named Jane, who teaches children how to recognize potentially dangerous situations.  The first part of the book includes national statistics and Jane's story.  The second part of the book is full of activities and reproducible worksheets to help reinforce basic rules for personal safety.

We know that school bus drivers are very well-trained, but they do not have control over other driver's actions.  Because of this, communication between the students and the driver is very necessary.  In this video, Bobby, a third grader, copes with some events where he is treated with a lack of respect by some other students.  On his third day at school, he is excited about a good report from his teacher and is eager to share it with his mother.  Unfortunately, Bobby makes a big mistake when he does not follow the instructions for crossing safely in front of the bus.  A distracted driver ignores safety procedures, and Bobby is hit by the car.  While Bobby's friends and classmates wait to learn about the outcome, viewers have time to reflect on the importance of following safe procedures.  A joint venture between the Ohio Association of Pupil Transportation and The Broken Toy Project, this color unrated educational drama on DVD features students from the Worthington City Schools.  This intense, disturbing film makes it a good discussion-starting tool for children fifth grade, and under.  While the procedures followed in the film are based on Ohio rules, students and drivers in all states can benefit from viewing this film.

In this educational DVD, you'll learn how to avoid potentially dangerous situations with people you don't know and kinda know, in a fun, and memorable way.  We know that safety can be very boring, and even a bit scary, but prepare yourself for something really different.  One of the most important things you can do to protect your children is to talk with them about potentially dangerous situations, and this Emmy Award-winning video can help.  It keeps kids engaged while introducing them to seven easy-to- remember "Hot Tips".  Hosted by "Safe Side Superchick," and featuring a cameo by John Walsh, the program is fun to watch and never scary.  This DVD is geared toward children 5 to 11 years old.
