Watch Out! at Home

by Claire Llewellyn, Mike Gordon (Illustrator)

When at home, kids are cautioned to avoid playing with sharp objects, to keep a safe distance from things cooking on the kitchen stove, to treat electrical appliances with caution, and generally to keep alert for potential household hazards. Clearly written in brief passages that are easy for younger children to absorb and understand, the Watch Out! series of color-illustrated books give kids safety advice that applies inside and outside the home, while they are traveling in a car, and when they are enjoying nature and having outdoor fun. The lessons illustrated in all Watch Out! books help children identify safety issues and avoid potentially dangerous situations. Appealing cartoon-style illustrations on every page.

[Merita · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great book which teaches the dangers of some things around the home and what would happen if you do touch or play with it.
