It is a great tool for teaching children about friendship, teamwork, feelings. It can also be used to teach quotation marks, and figurative language. There is also a video online of the story. It is awesome! (  )ldominguez | Apr 28, 2009 | Officer Buckle knows everything there is to know about saftey, but no one ever wants to listen. When he gets a police dog, Gloria, he feels upstaged by her because everyone wants to listen to the saftey tips when shared by Gloria.

Amazon.com (ISBN 0399226168, Hardcover)Officer Buckle is a roly-poly bloke, dedicated to teaching schoolchildren important safety tips, such as never put anything in your ear and never stand on a swivel chair. The problem is, Officer Buckle's school assemblies are dull, dull, dull, and the children of Napville just sleep, sleep, sleep. That is, until Gloria the police dog is invited along! Stealthily pantomiming each safety tip behind Officer Buckle's back, Gloria wins the children's hearts. Meanwhile Officer Buckle assumes the cheers and laughter are all for him. As the master comedian Jerry Lewis once explained, every slapstick artist needs a straight man! Children will be highly entertained by the laugh-out-loud, adorable illustrations in this 1996 Caldecott Medal winner, while learning the value of teamwork and a pawful of nifty safety tips. (Ages 4 to 8) --Gail Hudson(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:15 -0400) The first test round has been closed. Visit the Open Shelves Classification group for details. |
