Review
'The Staying Safe series is a practical and engaging collection designed to help beginning readers understand important safety concepts in their everyday lives. The series is especially effective for early learners because of its bright photographs and easy text. Each page uses simple, direct language that beginning readers can easily follow, while the vivid images show real children practicing safe behaviors. This combination supports comprehension and keeps young readers engaged from start to finish. Bike Safety shows readers how to wear safety gear, how to ride and position the bike safely, and even what to wear and how to cross the road. This title is especially valuable for helping children relate to the topic and discuss it with others. Fire Safety demonstrates how to be safe everywhere, including at home and at schools. It showcases people practicing drills and safe procedures. Supporting materials add even more value. The inclusion of a visual “how-to” manual helps children understand safety steps in a clear, picture-based format, while the easy picture glossary reinforces new vocabulary through images and simple definitions. Overall, the Staying Safe series offers a reassuring, educational, and child-friendly introduction to safety skills. Its engaging visuals, supportive text features, and practical guidance make it an excellent resource for classrooms, libraries, and caregivers teaching young children how to stay safe every day.', Alana Jara, District Librarian, Clear Lake Community School District
