Never Talk to Strangers: A Book About Personal Safety

By Irma Joyce

Book Overview

If you are hanging from a trapeze And up sneaks a camel with bony knees, Remember this rule, if you please Never talk to strangers. This book brilliantly highlights situations that children will find themselves inwhether they're at home and the doorbell rings, or playing in the park, or mailing a letter on their streetand tells them what to do if a stranger (always portrayed as a large animal, such as a rhino) approaches. Colorful, '60s-style "psychedelic" artwork and witty, lively rhyme clearly spell out a message about safety that empowers kids, and that has never been more relevant. Irma Joyce wrote many Golden Books during the 1960s. George Buckett was a popular children's book illustrator during the 1960s.

beautiful lessons

I have this book from my children and now as a gramma I read it to my little boys , who love it so much that I decided to buy the 2 families each their own copy. It tells great lessons with such vivid pretty illustrations. WE LOVE THIS BOOK

Great Book

I have used this book for many presentations to children about "Stranger Danger" and it has been very affective in getting the point across. Children love to interact with the book and they always love to say the line "Never talk to stranger" out loud with me.

A Very Good Lesson

This is a book about a little girl and boy that teaches children not to talk to kids no matter who thye ar eand what they say.

Never Talk to Strangers

This is a very good book for young children. It teaches children not to talk to strangers no matter what they do. Even if they say that they have something for you, you just stay away and do not talk to them.

This is an excellent book !

This was one of my favorite books as a child. It was very clear to explain how children should be aware of strangers. This book gave a good description of some of the "animals" children should be aware of by using animal pictures. Considering some of the problems going on with children missing today this book should not be out of print!!!!! I would love for every child in my family to have access to this book.
