Stop Drop and Roll (A Book about Fire Safety)

Margery Cuyler’s Story about fire safety and a little girl fear of it, is excellent for preschool children. It has bright illustrations that go along with the story line. The language of the story is easy to read with lots of important fire safety facts and words used throughout the book. It also has new vocabulary and expands on the topic of fire safety at home. Along with all of the facts and language this book also shows how to deal with the specific emotions of fear and anxiety.

Want to scare a child about fires? This is the book to do it. Yes, if goes over the stop drop and roll, so important in fire safety. However, I can just see a child who was already a little confused (and possibly scared) being more so after reading this book. So go ahead kids, worry some more!
