Reviews

[Amber McMinn · Rating 4 out of 5]

The Stop, Drop, and Roll book talks about what to do incase there's a fire and safety during it. Stoves and fireplaces can start fires, as well as lighters and matches. Try not to wear baggy clothing around stoves or fires, as it can catch on fire. Flame resistant clothing is the best. If you become on fire, then stop, drop, and roll with hands covering the face. Get an adult and contact 9-1-1 for first aid. This book can be read to children as little as toddlers and preschoolers to learn about safety.
