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.
