Self-protection is the issue in this book. How do children, left alone, handle a stranger who approaches them with the promise of a gift if they allow that person to get close to them? I think this is a much needed issue to discuss with small children. And perhaps a little story is the way to do it. Perhaps children will remember the message better if they can put themselves in the shoes of children in a story. I believe the author does this and in a non-threatening way. It is written and illustrated in a tasteful manner. Every child should be taught this lesson -- of saying "No" to strangers. This book, through its story and images, does it. Well done.
