Reviews
"Overall, it's a great way of dealing with safety and teaching children in a memorable way." Scholar Magazine Summer Reviews.
"A great idea because as well as being a cracking read for the 3-7 age group, they also incorporate a message about safety in the home, or out and about. The Sunday Post.
"The children were both transfixed from start to finish - they loved the story and were able to tell me about the important messages in the story. When my youngest saw a child run out into the road after a ball today he recalled the story and told me why that was so dangerous. We will certainly be exploring some of the other titles in this clever and engaging series!"
