Review: Don't Wander Off
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 07 8, 2012
This 2012 book is approximately 35 pages long with full-page color illustrations on every page.  "Slow Moe" is a seagull searching for a home.  Moe comes upon 5 children and a puppy who are lost in the woods at night.  Surrounded by hungry coyotes, Moe comes to the rescue, leading the children to safety and rescuing the puppy. Moe led the children and puppy to the Firemen and Policemen who were searching for them.This is a nice little book for the younger child.  Although the part about the coyotes chasing the children and almost getting the puppy could be scary, parents could use this book to teach a child why it is so very important to not wander off, even with a group.  Another lesson is that even a simple seagull (an unlikely rescuer) was able to help them when they needed it (and we should all help each other). One final lesson is that children can go to Police and Firemen for help.
