A Great Tool June 4, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a great textbook covering important areas of safety, nutrition and health. I highly recommend it. Another book that is a must for every educator and parent is Bully-Proofing Children: A Practical, Hands-On Guide to Stop Bullying. Written in an easy-read format, the practical tips and strategies on teaching children to get along and be safe are invaluable for anyone who works with kids. Filled with units, lessons, scripts and original stories focus on school safety which is so important given the current climate of schools today.
One book you can keep handy! September 6, 2007 I think this book is a great resource and provides vital information for people who are working with children or simply have children.
