Great stranger danger book

This is a great stranger danger book to add to your home. It has seven real life scenarios and safety tips to read and discuss with your child. It is a great way to get the discussion going about strangers. My 4 year old was completely engaged and it lead us to talking at length about how to stay safe in the event of strangers approaching him. Discusses what to do if offered presents, car rides, is asked for help. Another important feature was "what to do if the stranger knows your name." It lead to the discussion to never have his name on backpacks, clothing, etc. What I loved was it offered a page on role playing, other books on the topic, and Internet sites. After reading this book just one time, he declined candy from an older neighbor that we do not know well. I highly recommend this book

What I was looking for.

I did a search through many books looking for the perfect one with the best reviews. I wanted to make sure it would get the point across in an understandable way, (for my 5 year old) but also not put fear in my child only caution. This book was definitely the right choice. It goes through different scenarios and how one should react to them in a safe way. It has tips and role playing suggestions so that you can further discuss everything with your child so that they can better understand it and retain it.
On top of all that great stuff my kid really likes it. So much so I have to read it every night.
I highly recommend this book!! Great buy!

illustrations seemed odd

The pictures were kind of "modern? Made it look creepy. Especially dealing with this subject. It didn't really mean too much for our girls. We ended up looking for "the Berenstain bears learn about STRANGERS" I had this as a kids and it clicked with our girls. It's one of their favorite to pick out for reading time
