### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ... out others from the library to look for a good intro to safety book for my 3 year old ...
*by  on Reviewed in the United States January 21, 2015*

We have purchased several books and checked out others from the library to look for a good intro to safety book for my 3 year old and this is my favorite. This introduces safety tips, such as simply crossing the street, yet ranges to scarier stuff (without being scary) such as strangers, private parts, and more. It even broaches the subject of intuition and having a bad feeling which I think is important. Very age appropriate for 3+ or basically whenever you can have a conversation with your child. I also appreciate that it shows different genders and ethnicity. The illustrations are modern enough as well. The affirmation of, "I can be safe" is helpful. I will say though, not one book is enough, but this one is still top in my opinion. I highly recommend reading multiple books because it gives you a more well rounded approach to conversations of safety with your child. Another book in particular I recommend is "Amazing You."

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ one of those books that just clicks
*by  on Reviewed in the United States July 1, 2015*

My four year old son and I love this book. It introduces many different aspects of being safe and provides questions for you to start conversations with your child. I was looking for a book about "stranger danger" and this book was just enough to start those discussions. I also liked how it explains the nature of our body and how it warns us about danger, yet sometimes it's ok to try something you feel afraid of, like a roller coaster. This book is more than basic "safety" and I totally recommend it!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good beginning concept for child safety
*by  on Reviewed in the United States March 13, 2013*

This is the world we live in and it gives a platform to teach these concepts to kids. We have to do this as we live in a world full of all types of people. It teaches kids to respect and understand intuition ( without using this word), and to get away from bad situations. It's a smartly written book. You will not regret your purchase.
