Looking Forever

My mom and Dad gave me this book when I was about five years old and to this day I remember how much it meant to me. I understood the message even though I had never experienced any form of abuse. I think this is a book all parents should get for their children - it is a great way to let them know they can come to you no matter what and to approach a very disturbing topic - This book has never left me I am so glad I found it again!!

One of the best

This is one of the best books I have ever seen for young children who have either been abused or could be. It alerts young children of the dangers of "secrets" that are hallmarks of child abuse either about to happen or having already occurred. It also provides encouragement to those children who have already been abused to start talking about the abuse with an adult who can do something to help them. I have even see this story provide assistance for adults who have abuse issues to deal with.I enjoy this stories at the age of 60 plus almost as much as my grandchildren have over the years. Each one of the Serendipity Series has beautiful and imaginative illustrations to go along with tales that always have an important lesson to teach.

A must-read title for all kids

Squeekers is an excellent way to start a conversation withchildren about abuse and saying no to peer pressure. It makes iteasier for parents to talk to their kids about a very tough topic.

Missing these books

I am only 14...But the serendipity books were really the only childrens books I ever had. I even have the original version of this book... It WAS called "Crickle Crack" IT makes me so sad that some of these are out of print, I used to have most of them and I keep clicking on them hoping to get a new copy and finding that they aren't there. It's SO sad! I wish someone had made me take better care of them and not allowed me to throw them out :( OH well...If you have young kids...BUY THEM THESE BOOKS! I still love 'em!

A Wonderful "Just Say No!" Story!

As a teacher of elementary school children I always worry when I see them walking home alone, even in the safe community I teach in. This is a wonderful book with a cute and loveable main character, Squeakers, to show them it's okay to say "No" to strangers. A great book for both parents and teachers!
