K-3Be Safe! series.
Illustrated by
Silvia Baroncelli.
These books convey safety rules for different activities: an alien learns about playground safety, two friends ride bikes, and kids teach their action figures about water safety. Bike's narrative makes the most sense, but all three provide solid information. The cheery illustrations are welcoming. Challenging vocabulary and overly clever narrative techniques may confuse younger readers. "Safety Rules to Remember" are appended. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these Be Safe! titles: Be Safe in the Water, Be Safe on the Playground, and Be Safe on Your Bike.
