Please Play Safe! Penguin's Guide To Playground Safety
PreSchool-Grade 2–This child-friendly guide is set up as a series of don'ts and dos. Each vignette shows the repercussions of doing something thoughtlessly–jumping off a seesaw too quickly, climbing up a slide, kicking sand–followed by the proper way to play. Children can participate in the story by replying to the question asked at the end of each don't–Is that right?–with the refrain, No, that's wrong, before Penguin explains the safe way to behave. The text is simple enough for beginners since the softly shaded, multimedia color illustrations provide excellent visual clues. The pictures are full of active animals under the watchful tutelage of whistle-wearing Penguin. A fun addition.–Maura Bresnahan, High Plain Elementary School, Andover, MACopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
