K-3Be Safe! series.
Illustrated by
Silvia Baroncelli.
These books convey safety rules for different situations: a little girl teaches her toys about fire safety in her dollhouse and an older boy teaches a younger friend about strangers. Both books contain useful information, but the awkward narration can be confusing, particularly in Strangers. The cheery illustrations are welcoming. "Safety Rules to Remember" are appended. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these Be Safe! titles: Be Safe Around Fire and Be Safe Around Strangers.
