It introduces many different aspects of being safe and provides questions for you to start conversations with your child. This introduces safety tips, such as simply crossing the street, yet ranges to scarier stuff (without being scary) such as strangers, private parts, and more. It even broaches the subject of intuition and having a bad feeling which I think is important. Very age appropriate! Teaches kids to respect and understand intuition (without using this word), and to get away from bad situations. It's a smartly written book. You will not regret your purchase. I bought this as a supplement for a safety unit I presented to elementary students. It was a great way for them to remember what our lesson was about. It's simple and gets to the point.
